Oli Brown – Songs
From The Road (Ruf Records).
Culled from three superb studio albums, this has Oli in
front of his hometown crowd. It brings out his best and believe me he is one of
the best. Speechless and Next Girl personify
raw power but it is Love Is Taking It’s Toll where the trio flower. Pulsing
bass, crashing cymbals and Oli’s lightning fingers provide a highlight. Lengthy
solos are provided on Mr Wilson and Manic Bloom but it’s not all power as the
strolling Devil In Me and Stone Cold show but his whipping, ripping guitar is never
too far away. Credentials confirmed as a live act with Thinking About Her and
You Can Only Blame Yourself.
