David Olney: Real Lies

Enjoying David Olney's songs is like seeing your life pass before your eyes. Each random scene and feeling is accurate, intense and complete. You can see the sunlight, hear the sounds of the city, smell the musky perfume of the lover you left behind, all in a song. And in a set of David's songs, you have an entire vivid cross section of life. Olney's work is as varied as it is rich, and his albums go on the short shelf with those few others you have that you can play over and over again without tiring or failing to hear something new you never noticed before.
