The song was inspired by someone whom Steve Cash and Larry Lee met in Los Angeles who was strung out on drugs. The song reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975. The song was sung by group drummer Larry Lee. The version appearing on the album has a running time of 4:11, while the single was edited at 3:38. It was recorded by the Smashing Pumpkins in 1991 as part of the Gish recording, but never officially released It'll Shine When It Shines is the second album by the country rock band, the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Their debut album was successful enough to give the band the clout to record its sophomore effort. "It'll Shine When It Shines", on the musicians' home turf. For the session, they cut their tracks in the pre-Civil War house that served as their rehearsal space, with Johns and Anderle working from a mobile recording truck parked outside. The homey makesift setup yielded a loose, organic vibe that invigorated material like Cash's tongue-in-cheek swamp-rocker "E.E. Lawson". This album contains their biggest single, "Jackie Blue", which reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975. The song brought in by Lee late in the session, was recorded at the insistence of Glyn Johns, who cajoled lee into altering his original lyric about a drug-dealing friend into a fond ode to a free-spirited female loner.
