"As
the title track notes, it's not just one tough town,
but a tough
planet. I saw Olney playing at a festival this spring
and thought he
looked like a FEDORA-SPORTING, fiftysomething HIGH-SCHOOL
PRINCIPAL who'd SUDDENLY GONE BERSERK and was using
his acoustic guitar like it was a weapon. Love this
crazy guy, LOVE THIS RECORD."

"...part
Baptist PREACHER, part caustic COMEDIAN, and part
existential BLUESMAN...Olney shouted, moaned and
howled his SHARPLY OBSERVED HARD-LUCK TALES and
quirky character studies."

"Olney
stands out LIKE A JALAPENO IN A BOWL OF VANILLA
PUDDING in Nashville. One Tough Town, A BRILLIANT
SAMPLING OF AMERICAN MUSIC from blues and rockabilly
to New Orleans swing and NOIR FOLK, adds another
top-notch effort to a prolific string of fine records.
"Sweet Poison" is a shot of rockabilly
so stout it should make most of the current crop
of pompadoured fakers sell their instruments and
go back to
40-hour weeks at Burger King. ... a TRUE GENIUS
of American song."
