Country Boy - City Boy

Dallas Morninig News, May 28, 1979
Oler's music unties tense knots.

Product Description:
Born with perfect pitch, Newell Oler was raised in East Texas. His piano interpretations seem to say and remind us of things long forgotten from uncluttered youth when there was a more simple spirituality in all of life. His music seems to speak with a familiar voice in a very impressive language. Listeners have said his music has the capacity to turn on a light inside some room in their minds that has been a long time lost. Not only does an eerie and unusual skill show through his music, the music selected is of a certain kind. Your kind of music…

Pops Goes the 4th!.......2006-12-02

This is a great CD for any fan of the Boston Pops - especially those who have seen or been to their annual 4th of July performance - or for those who appreciate patriotic music. Many of the pieces they play at the Pops Goes the 4th concert are on the CD. My personal favorite is the 1812 Overture for its live cannons.

TOP NOTCH!.......2005-08-27

This is a top notch collection of music. These represent the american spirit. I highly recomend it to everyone.

What a great showman mr. oler is.......2001-11-09

The long wait is over, my cd has arrived and I have palyed it over and over. What a great talent Newell possesses. He is a nature peformer in the purest sense. He knows how to make the keys sing, like in sing for you and for me.

The icing on the cake is the fact that Newell and I share the same Texas town. Newell was born in Tyler, Texas and moved away at a young age. I was born else where, but moved to Tyler upon graduation from college. It's too bad that we didn't live in this wonderful town at the same time.

To get back to my review is easy. This cd offers country music performed in a romantic style of play. It doesn't sound that country, but still should have some appeal to country music lovers. Newell did an outstanding job with this project. He also choose a great repertoire to perform.

Recommendation: I think this is a cd that most romantic fans can enjoy.

Album Description

When a musician sets out to consciously explore Americana roots music, the results are generally, at the least, inconsistent, if not disastrous. Scholarly posturing and research coupled with technique and skill only get one so far; without sincerity or passion, the musical experiment often ends up sounding dull and lifeless, an exercise more than an expression…

And that is precisely what makes the second release from Orange County, CA-based musician Kenny Jacobson, Take Everything I Ever Wanted, that much more remarkable. Kenny was born and raised in Southern California, and like ever kid who came of age in the eighties from that area, he spent his formative years performing with various garage-punk bands, emulating Social Distortion and Black Flag, not Merle Haggard and Buck Owens; yet somewhere along the way, whether it was in Utah, Peru, Mexico or some place in-between, as Kenny continued to write and perform music, he developed a fascination with Americana, and it was just a matter of time before those influences made their way into his music.

Granted, this is no honky-tonk record from Bakersfield, but those influences work nicely alongside Ryan Adams, Neil Young and Ellis Paul, as Kenny seeks to come to terms with loves he has left, and love that has left him. Yes, Kenny may be grappling with some demons from the past, but they are exorcised beautifully over the course of the CD's eleven tracks. It opens with the poignant "Love You More," where gently strummed guitars and pedal-steel shuffle along to tell a Dylan-esque tale where, once again, the "good guy" loses; "Nashville," "Least of All Me" and "Licking My Wounds" mine similar territory, blending accordions and mandolins with more traditional instrumentation as Kenny's sense of ironic justice keeps you from feeling too sorry for his protagonists.

But Kenny's music is far from depressing, for even when at his most forlorn, there is a hope that radiates from within, as if through the simple act of singing these songs, all will be made well. Besides, despite the music's generally solemn subject matter, the arrangements are quite upbeat, whether it's the raucous true-to-form murder-ballad "Never To Die," or the horn-drenched "Hallelujah," which owes much more to the Stax catalog than Ralph Stanley (not to mention that it features the horn section of Save Ferris!).

Ultimately, though, it is Kenny's love of American roots music--of playing it, of writing it, of living it—that shines though on Take Everything I Ever Wanted. He's done his homework and learned the traditions, but, like the outlaws who have obviously inspired him, Kenny knows that, in the end, without heart, you're truly hopeless.
