A band from Oklahoma City whose 1968 debut included their signature track "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'."
For their best-known moment, start with "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'." To hear their folk-country blend, try "Surrey With The Fringe On Top."
They captured a particular regional sound at a time when folk and country were blending in new ways. "Farmer And The Cowman" shows how they worked with straightforward harmonies and lyrics that felt familiar to listeners in the American West. Their self-titled 1968 album gave them a sudden burst of attention that lasted through several more records.
Oklahoma formed in Oklahoma City in the mid-1960s with Keith Anderson on lead vocals and guitar. Their debut came out in 1968, followed by Burning Bridges in 1969 and then Oklahoma III, IV, and V through the early 1970s. The lineup shifted over those years, with Jim Romine joining on keyboards and Roy Clark sometimes playing fiddle.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
