As the band closed out its second set at the Cowboy Bar on Dec. 18, the line seemed to sum up the Daredevils' current dilemma. They were once serious contenders for rock 'n' roll heaven. They're now barely contenders. Why? They didn't raise enough hell. Nearly a decade ago, if you'll remember, the band was hot stuff one of the premiere country-rock aggregations ag-gregations in the business. Their records, like the breezy "Jackie Blue" and the aforementioned "If You Wanna Get to Heaven," sold by the truckload. These hillbillies from Springfield, Missouri were hot. But for some reason, the Daredevils couldn't sustain the momentum. They used to rival such well known acts as the Outlaws, Charlie Daniels and other of the country-rock ilk for attention. These days, the Daredevils aren't even in the same league with sucn types. The Daredevils used to pack 'em in at arenas and concert halls across the land. They now seem fated to perenially tour nightclubs like the Cowboy, living off the legacy of their bygone glory days. But if they don't watch it, they might not even be able reason to forget. Not that they're bad, mind you. To the contrary, they're a quite efficient musical unit. They know their chops. But efficiency is not the stuff of which great music is made. An IBM typewriter is efficient. A memorable band has to be something more. Unfortunately, efficiency is about all the Ozark If you're going to whoop it up with passion, you've got to throw efficiency out the window. to play bars like the Cowboy in the future. Ominously, the bar was barely half full last Saturday night. Ah, the fickle fates of show biz. How quickly they forget. Not really. Before the Daredevils start blaming their current slim fortunes on the short memory span of the average rock fan, they need to be reminded that music lovers only forget you if you let them. The Ozark Mountain Daredevils Dare-devils have given us good Mountain Daredevils have to offer these days. They play efficient country tunes. They play efficient rock 'n' roll. They play efficient country rock. They play their old hits efficiently. Yawn. It just goes to show that there's no efficient way to raise a little musical hell. Unabashed rowdiness is something that you can't conceptualize or plan out. Or practice. If you're going to whoop it up with passion, you've got to throw efficiency out the window. The Ozark Mountain Moun-tain Daredevils probably wouldn't throw anything out the window for fear it would break. Maybe they should disband dis-band and become IBM typewriter repairmen. Efficiency Effi-ciency is highly valued in such occupations. Efficiency is not highly valued at midnight in a Park City bar. When patrons wanna get to heaven, they expect the boys up on the stand to raise a little hell. Sadly, the Daredevils only came through sporadically last weekend. One such unabashed delight de-light was the band's rave-up of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away." But that tune only served as an ironic counterpoint counter-point to the evening's generally gener-ally pallid proceedings. Holly's Hol-ly's lyrics about searching for something of permanence perma-nence in a world that's constantly changing pointed out the disposability of such acts as the Daredevils. Daredevils? Hardly. 0 IpIPairlk DMy MveJfi Who's where at local nightspots Local nightspots continue to pull in an impressive array of musical talent. In the next few weeks Parkite club hoppers will be treated to a host of very capable acts, both nationally- and locally-known. At the Black Pearl, David LaFlamme begins a two week stand this week. LaFlamme is best remembered as the driving force behind It's a Beautiful Day. The group released several well-known albums in the late 1960s and scored a big hit with its authentic "White Bird," an extended pop-rock piece. It's a Beautiful Day was one of several noteworthy groups to emerge from California during the halycon days of the psychedelic era. It frequently frequent-ly shared the bill at such legendary San Francisco venues as the Avalon Ballroom and Fillmore West with contemporaries such as the Jefferson Airplane (forerunners of the Star-ship), Star-ship), Grateful Dead and the Steve Miller Band.

Up Main Street from the Pearl, the Cowboy Bar will continue its stellar array of talent.

The eclectic Mahal, a self-proclaimed self-proclaimed "musicologist" whose aim is to preserve ethnic folk musics from various parts of the world (particularly, the Caribbean and southern U.S.), has been the focus of an enthusiastic cult following for years. He has released dozens of albums and is a perennial critics' favorite when year-end year-end music polls are taken. The Cowboy's big January lineup winds down with a two-night stand Jan. 21 and 22 by the New Riders of the Purple Sage. This venerable outfit was at the forefront of the country-rock movement in the early 1970s when it emerged under the patronage of Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia.
