24 Hrs A Day is from the 1974 album entitled "A New Life" but was not released as a single.

I play this one in standard tuning with a root up down up root up down up rhythm pattern and with some lead. For chords play a E, A, D, Abm and a B7.

Blue Ridge Mountain Sky was from the 1974 album entitled "A New Life" but was not released as a single, like the song above.

This one can be played with a root up down up root up down up and repeat rhythm pattern with a little lead work and in standard tuning. Only three chords and they are C, F and G.

Driving You Out Of My Mind was one of the last of two singles ever released by the band and the only single release from their 1992 album "Still Smokin".

Heard It In A Love Song was the groups largest single release and hails from the "California Dreams" album and hit #14 on The Billboard Hot 100 and hit #51 on the country charts.

The version I'm playing here is a Mark Chesnutt version but it's pretty much the same.
