Ruby Starr was the long-time lead singer for the Southern rock band Black Oak Arkansas. This solo album is from 1976.

Ruby was the lead female singer. But “Jim Dandy” Mangrum was the front man and primary lead singer.
Parenthetically, when I googled the band there was a recent picture of Jim Dandy. He’s my age and didn’t he get old while I wasn’t t watching…damn.

Correction noted, Rick. You are quite right. I’m guessing, but you may have led a quieter life than Jim Dandy has.
What’s surprising to me is that much of BOA’s output, including those that Ruby Starr did on her own, is so difficult to obtain. Most of their bestselling LPs were released on CD, but even those seem to be out of print.
