David Olney fascinates. O;ney"s songs are in the heart of the matter. They reflect what he has been reading, a theory that he has been gnawing on, or a feeling about the people he has known or events he has witnesses. They have starting imagery, plots. On this album is, to my mind, the finest song he has written to date. "If my eyes were Blind," Listen to this voice. In the on-going debate of substance versus form, hairdo versus heart, there is only one conclusion to be made about David Olney: no smarmy claptop here. He is the genuine article. Songs in this album include; Deeper Well; Women across the River; Brand New Skin; Jeruslem Tomorrow; If Love was Illegal; Poor Clothing; If my eyes were Blind; Way I am; Illegal Cargo; Lonesome Waltz of the Wind; You are Here.Enjoy!
