Brian Olive Green Vinyl

Description

Ltd. edition of 800 on GREEN VINYL.Brian Olive's name first came into the public eye as a founding guitarist/singer of the Greenhornes,and later as a member of the Soledad Brothers,for whom he provided saxophone and sundries under the pseudonym of Oliver Henry. However,unlike those prior genre-specific endeavors,this album,his self-titled debut,is a breakout multicolored affair that takes musical and lyrical cues from the British psychedelic sixties,as well as the soul-pop hit factories of Memphis,and wanders through the erstwhile streets of the Ninth Ward.The sessions took place in Cincinnati,in what was once the basement vault of a pawn shop,and were produced,recorded and mixed on analog tape by Brian himself. Beside playing guitar,woodwind and piano,Brian Olive is accompanied on the album by friends Jared McKinney and Craig Fox of the Greenhornes,Mike Weinel,formerly of the Heartless Bastards,and Dan Allaire who did time with the Brian Jonestown Massacre. Brian also sings lead and is backed by the Kadish Sisters with Donna Jay,a vocal trio brought together in the studio for the occasion. A touring band will be assembled with various members of the sessions.
