The Ozark Mountain Daredevils is the debut album by the American country rock band The Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Sporting a patchwork quilt cover that gave some indication of its eclectic musical content, it contained the #25 hit single "If You Wanna Get to Heaven," plus many other laid-back originals from the southern Missouri natives.
