David Olney David Olney David Olney is a New England native who now makes his home in Nashville. His albums are patchworks of quirky stories.
Some songs look at the same events from the points of view of two different characters involved.
The grittiness of his characters is matched by gritty, bluesy tunes. In my opinion, the strongest album is Live in Holland , widely available as a Dutch import. Olney appears alone in an acoustic setting that only heightens the drama of his songs. The remaining albums cover the gamut between heaven and hell.
