REVIEWS: “Nashville's answer to the Bard.” ( The Nashville Scene )

"These sonnets were a lifesaver when I was constricted to rehab for a broken leg. This man can seriously write! At best, many of the sonnets are thought provoking, calming and uplifting, through the beautiful language, the unique subjects of the poems, and the cheery content of many. I totally enjoyed the clever phrasings, often making me laugh out loud. Five stars!" ( Edith McMullin, author)

“…The singer-songwriter has consistently created tough, brooding songs about the human condition that reek of a questioning intelligence mixed with a literate wit.” ( Pop Matters )

The Songs of David Olney, Vol. 1 (Song Book, 60 pages) Music City Publishing Company

“David has been able to capture important moments from very unique perspectives. Who else has seen the crash of the Titanic as a love song or told the story of the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem from the perspective of the donkey? These are only two of the more notable contributions David has made to our understanding of the world around us. David’s comments, which accompany the lyrics to each song, provide a fascinating look at the process by which he takes moments both large and small to create beautiful music.” ~ Excerpt from the Forward by Jay Pilzer.

Includes lyrics and chord notations for 30 of David Olney’s intelligent, melodic songs from his complete body of work. Forward by Jay Pilzer. Introduction by David Olney. Photographs and illustrations in full color as well as black & white.
