------------------------------------------------------
"A rare chance to catch a fiery, literary, tour de force up close and
personal. With more than four decades of performances under his belt,
this is certain to be one show ­ and a set¹s worth of songs ­ you¹ll
never forget." -- The Portland (OR) Tribune

"He's a little bit country, a little bit folk and quite a bit raw
passion. He can grab an audience's attention like a bolt of lightning or
exude tenderness in heart-tugging love songs."
-- The Philadelphia Inquirer

"David Olney resembles an old-time road bard who will, and can, do
virtually anything to rivet strangers under his one-night
tent....Olney's traveling show can mesmerize."
-- Geoff Gehman, The Morning Call

"David Olney is astounding... gave one of the most magnificent solo
acoustic shows I have seen and that includes concerts by Bruce
Springsteen, Guy Clark or anyone else you'd care to name. He can break
your heart but he can also chill your spine." -- Ft. Worth Star-Telegram

"David Olney is nothing less than a twisted American treasure - a
booming narrator of dark topics usually spoken about only in hushed
tones. He also wields a mighty wicked guitar."
-- Mountain XPress, Asheville, NC

"Anytime anyone asks me who my favorite music writers are, I say Mozart,
Lightnin' Hopkins, Bob Dylan and Dave Olney. Dave Olney is one of the
best songwriters I've ever heard - and that's true. I mean that from my
heart." -- Townes Van Zandt

DYNAMITE DAVE: A MUSIC CITY MASTER:
"During his three decades in Nashville, Dave Olney has gone from
being one of Music City's most exhilarating rock 'n' rollers to
being one of our town's best respected songsmiths. Even when
stripped down to a guitar and vocal, though, Olney's songs and
performances retain unusual intensity and impact. All this goes to
say that...well, he's awfully good. For songwriters and performers,
an Olney concert offers an opportunity to learn by observing a great
one in action. For everyone else, it's just an opportunity to be
entertained by a uniquely masterful artist."
-- Peter Cooper, The Tennessean

"David Olney tells marvelous stories, with characters who cling to the
hope of enduring love, all the while crossing the deep divide into that
long dark night of the soul. They are saints and charlatans, gypsies
and thieves, the ordinary and extraordinary." --Emmylou Harris

"Writing from the point of view of historical characters has become one
of Mr. Olney's most distinguishing talents, whether he's singing from
the mind of a donkey that carried Jesus or imagining Jesse James's last
bragging words before being shot by Robert Ford..." "But he stresses:
'Anyone who sits down to write a heavy song is a jerk. It's more like
paleontology, when you find a bone of a song sticking up and do
everything you can to get the rest of it out without breaking it.'"
-- Neil Strauss, The New York Times

³Olney's deep, hard-nosed voice remains as clear and unforgiving as a
punch to the face, and, as always, it's his songs of love, with their
focus on tenderness and redemption, that do the most lasting damage.²
-- Michael McCall, Nashville Scene

"While these songs reveal Olney's talents with language, he's not afraid
to whoop it up and make a lot of noise, letting the music do the
talking." -- Pop Matters........FULL REVIEW online at:
