Ollie Vee - Lonesome Girl - New release review
I just received the newest release, Lonesome Girl, from Ollie Vee and it's really got character. Opening with Ruby Red , a country styled ballad with a cool slide guitar solo and plenty of vibrato. Jesse Adamson (vocal and guitar) is backed by Johnny Vassos (guitar), Howard Linscott (bass) and John Collin (drums). Looking For A Fast Time has that rock a billy sound with solid bass lines and classic guitar riffs. Party Fools is very stylistic (almost gypsy jazz) and really has cool guitar work. A well constructed song, Party Fools shows the bands flexibility. Underneath The Sparks is very classically country in nature with cool use of the guitar whammy bar. Paper Hearts really captures the essence of early rock and roll with understated guitar lead under the melody and tastes of Johnny Cash. Hip Shakin' Baby ventures deeply into the early rock and roll vein and the Bo Diddley style. One of my favorite tracks on the release, instrumental track, New Boots really has some...
