The Ozark Mountain Daredevils started in 1971 in Springfield, Missouri in an attempt by the singer/songwriter members to have a vehicle in which to display and promote their music. At first, they played in bars and on porches. However, a record executive from A&M records discovered the band, and they began their recording path.
The original members of the band consisted of:
John Dillion - (vocals, guitars, mandolin, fiddle, piano, harp, autoharp, dulcimer, jawbone, percussion, keyboards)
Mike "Supe" Granda - (vocals, bass, acoustic guitar, mandolin, percussion, chicken squawks)
Buddy Brayfield - (vocals, oboe, piano, harpsichord, organ, percussion, electric piano)
Randle Chowning - (vocals, lead electric & acoustic guitars, harp, national steel, mandolin)
Steve Cash - (vocals, harp, percussion, harpsichord)
Larry Lee - (vocals, drums, acoustic guitar, synthesizer, piano, percussion, saw, saw & board)
The Daredevils peaked commercially in 1973-1974 and were best known for "Jackie Blue" and "If You Wanna Get To Heaven", which both got national coverage. However, there was a wide range of music that the Daredevils produced that was widely missed. The influences of the locale and the talents of the band members produced some unique sounds that could be related to "rockabilly" influences. There was also a good body of music that could be classified as country, rock, ballads, folk or blues.
The band changed throughout the years, but played prevantly throughout the '70s and gained and lost members during that time. To this day, there is still a loyal and avid fan following. There are discs still being released by the group, mostly of past performances in the '70s. In addition, many of the members are currently still working on other interests including Randle Chowning, Larry Lee ("Beyond Reach") Mike "Supe" Granda, and possibly others.
A reunion concert was held in Springfield, Missouri at the refurbished Gilloiz Theatre, in May of 2007. The three nights they performed were entirely sold out, weeks in advance of the concert.
It's All Over Now
Ozark Mountain Daredevils Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, you used to stay out, all night long
Made me cry, done me wrong
Hurt my eyes open, that's no lie
Table's turnin', now her turned around
Because I used to love her
Girl it's all over now
But it's all over now
Well, I'm used to wake good mornin' with my breakfast in bed
I got worried she would cleave my little head
Now she's hear and there
With ev'ry man in town
And still tryin' to take me
For that same amount
But I used to love her
But it's all over now
Well I used to love her
But it's all over now
(GUITAR SOLO)
Well, it's move on around
With ev'ry man in town
And tryin' to take me
For that same ol' clown
I used to wake up in the mornin'
Feelin' just fine
Not anymore
- he's there !
Because I used to love her
But it's all over now
I said I used to love her
But it's all over now
I said I used to loved her
But its all over now
But I used to love her
But it's all over now
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils in their song "It's All Over Now" tell the story of a man trying to move on from a toxic relationship. The opening lines reveal how the woman was careless with his feelings and he stayed up all night crying, but now the tables have turned. He no longer loves her and it’s all over.
The second verse reveals the reason for the breakup - the woman was cheating on him with every man in town. The singer was once treated with love and affection, and he even got breakfast in bed. But now, she only wants to take advantage of him. He acknowledges that he once loved her, but now all those feelings are gone. The final solo guitar underscores his pain, as he moves on to someone better.
