CD ReviewsA voice for all kinds... Adam T. Bowling | Nashville, TN | 06/14/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "David Olney's newest release, "One Tough Town", is a record that ranges from pure folk to a bluesy rock. It includes ukulele, Tuba, clarinet, harmonica, and tremolo guitars. above and beyond the sound is Olney's songwriting. The track that stuck in my mind, "Who's The Dummy Now?", is about a struggling ventriloquist and the dummy who is getting tired of carrying the act. This an album that is not to be missed. Not to mention that the live show is amazing if you ever get a chance to catch it." Loved the CD - One Tough Town Karin E. Girard | 07/09/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I am not familiar with David Olney, I just happened to hear a song on a local radio station and decided to order the CD. He has a wide range of styles on this CD, look forward to hearing more of him in the future." One of the Best Music fan | Norfolk, VA USA | 10/30/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Olney is an original, a songwriter who crafts his narratives and long songs uniquely, often from the perspective of a character (or a thing in the case of an old song, "Iceberg," the story of the Titanic told from the viewpoint of the iceberg).
On his latest, he typically opens with a blast of bluesy roadhouse rock, "Whistle Blow," fueled by harmonica and his worn voice. But Olney, who is a song writing treasure, has several tricks up his sleeve, as usual. "Who's the Dummy Now" is narrated by the dummy who is carrying the act -- and life -- for a struggling ventriloquist. There's more than a touch of Tin Pan Alley in that cut and a few others -- a trombone, clarinet and tuba make appearances, but so does snarling electric guitar. The album, in fact, is one tasty sampling of American music. Of "Oh Yeah (Dead Man's Shoes," Olney says: "I think of the song as Flannery O'Conner goes to New Orleans." If that kind of irascible wit and ambition appeals, this is a must." |
