Saturday, April 27, 2024 Davey O.

“(On “Some Days”) you find something closer to Jackson Browne or James Taylor than say, Neil Young or John Prine. He isn’t writing with any expectations of impressing a listener but allowing his songs to hold their attention. And he does…..His lyrics fortunately aren’t elementary. Davey has a good grasp of what he needs to say, says it intelligently, avoids at best any cliches & gets the drama across lightly, especially on tunes like “Travelogue.” 

Davey has lots of lovely melodies & tells a compelling story. He layers instruments carefully & all his songs have an atmospheric quality. His tune “Texaco Sign” is an excellent track. A touch of Neil Young-harmonica & it becomes a road lullaby. This is where Davey O should be – he does this well. He could make a truck driver cry with this kind of composition. – John Apice, Americana Highways.
