The Ozark Mountain Daredevils is the debut album by 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 No. 25 hit single "If You Wanna Get to Heaven", plus many other laid-back originals from the southern Missouri natives.
