Don't Look Down (Ozark Mountain Daredevils album)

Don't Look Down is the fifth album by American country rock band The Ozark Mountain Daredevils. The band lost another founding member, Buddy Brayfield, gained a new producer David Kershenbaum, and added three new players, including singer/guitarist and longtime pal Steve Canaday, who as owner of the New Bijou had been instrumental in the group's formation. Despite containing "Following The Way That I Feel", one of the strongest pop tunes in their catalogue, Don't Look Down did not meet sales expectations, and presaged the Ozark Mountain Daredevils' move from A&M Records to Columbia Records.

The album is mentioned in the book Barrel Fever, by David Sedaris, in "Don's Story".

The bonus tracks that appear on the CD rerelease were recorded while Randle Chowning and Buddy Brayfield were still a part of the group.
