4 out of 5 stars Totally Forgotten.......2004-04-30

I can't see how this didn't get anyone's attention. Although it does have slight hints of "radio candy" this release was a very professional and country effort.

The songs are all acoustic based, and O'hara's winsom voice is at the forefront of the arragements.

Now please be advised, if you liked the country sounds of this release, then please be advised that his next effort is totally the opposite of "Rise Above It"

5 out of 5 stars Almost Unforgiveable!.......2004-02-14

It is almost unforgiveable that this CD can't be bought. That in itself tells us where country music has drifted over the last 10 years. We hear very few songs like these, very few expressions of what we live with every minute of our lives. Jamie has the insight and the soul of the silently haunted. He "sees" what we all feel. Every song on this CD is real and that is not what the world wants . It is a shame. If you can find this CD buy it and you will change.

5 out of 5 stars A Master At His Trade!.......2003-04-24

I was fortunate enough to come across this CD while I worked at a country music radio station, and just simply fell in love with it. The lyrics could seduce the Ice Lady while the music kisses her goodnight. I just don't get stopped in my tracks very often by an artist as raw and honest as Jamie, and wore that CD out on the air. I went to Nashville and found him playing at the Bluebird Cafe several years ago, and spent one of the most enjoyable nights of my life, alone, sober, and watching him do what he does best. He is just as polite, smooth and hypnotic in person as the swooning of his voice with RCA, and I happen to believe they completely missed the boat on this good ol' boy.
I am a writer/artist, and can appreciate all that takes places behind the scenes of someone struggling to make it doing what they love to do. If Jamie never did another song, wrote another lyric, or ever played in public again, he still has forgot more than some will ever know. 50,000 Names would be touchy right now, but very effective to tell the very story he set out to tell. I think he is an astronomical addition to the folk/country music industry.

4 out of 5 stars simple, literate, and effective.......2003-02-14

Former member of the O'Kanes and one-time college football
star, Jamie O'Hara was a hit songwriter prior to gaining a short
blast of acclaim in his partnership with Kieran Kane. On his own,
he creates rugged, sparse country music that is simple, literate,
and effective. On 'Rise Above It' O'Hara wrote all ten songs, a rare and commendable thing in Nashville. The songs are primal and direct, with a slight but chugging rhythm and bluesy underpinning lending a swagger to his lean, seductive lyricism. "Cold, Hard Truth" is a great hard-country ballad about a man coming face-to-face with his deceitful ways. -- Michael McCall, All Music Guide

    I just love this band. I've seen them in Boise and they have everyone out of their seats and on the dance floor!

    5 out of 5 stars Hey Little Girl.......2001-08-27

    This cd rocks. The track "Hey Little Girl" is a foot-stompin' phenomenom! This is a relatively unknown band; however, you won't be disappointed if you buy this cd. It is a sort or "bluesy jazz" that has you up and dancing!
