New Themed CD Compilation Southern
Emotions
|
Singer\songwriter Dave
O’Dell is a veteran of Knoxville, Tennessee's music history.
O’Dell was centric in the late 70's psycho-billy, rebel-rousing, western swing band
Bull Rooker
performing on Cumberland Avenue. Later in the 80’s with an equally dynamic original band The Senders, and then in
the 90’s the alternative rockabilly foursome the
Tennessee KingSnakes
to arrive in the millennium with the
Chilly Wnders
and their new CD
“Southern Emotions.” The album is a collection
of original rock, rockabilly, ballads, and novelty pieces with lots of lively
guitar, steel guitar, and slide guitar with a
sentimental tone of southern flavor. There are rocking,
rhythmic, cardiac numbers such as Alcohol Troubles in ballroom beat
and a few distorted numbers like Long Way Down to
“Shake up the neighborhood.” The ballad Cherokee Blood is an inspiring conversation between a brave
and his son with a flowing steel guitar and an intro and out-tro
rhythm of gathering drum, his statement in tribal sound. The
CD features Memphis musician Bukka Billy York on harmonica, 6 and
12 string guitars onboard to vulcanize the sound with contrasting
West Tennessee moods. Noticeable is the writing / singing style of
Dave O'Dell that incorporates an iambic pentameter as in "Wound Up" churning and
turning syllables into a playful corkiness. Someone
that knows O'Dell said he seems to "love all music but doesn't
have any specific influences." That is possibly key to his
authenticity and rootsy signature. The production is above average for Indie with years of creativity that is deep fried, crisp, with a homegrown
flavor.

The music has filled the void in my head and completed my being.
Coooolasamuthaf_kinb_tch....
Also, it kindof has the feel of a Greatest Hits Compilation....but
of course, my favorites and I'm thinking in terms of radio airplay
here...Long Way Down, Highway 55 Rag, Blues The Country......
You can quote me on this...
"There is no finer piece of musical
craftsmanship than Southern Emotions" B. Casual

Thanks alot ,butthead, for telling us in advance that you would be a
radio star on Wednesday. But I thought you would like to know that
someone out there in the world did hear it without any prompting!
That's pretty much the only station I ever listen to and every Wed.
I run errands after work so I always hear the local music show on my
way home. I got home earlier than usual so I could tell Shawn and we
put on the ole clock radio and listened to your show. So,
"Congratulations!" and now we can say we knew you when and that half
of those Chilly Wonders have played at our very own house!

My friend... "goes on and on" about your new c.d. David.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
As you may hear in the background, O'Dell has arrived in Ridgeburg.
I'm on my 3d listen already - got home @ 3:30, and it just keeps
gettin' better. I remember Chad and Bukka, but the others are vague
memories or newbies. This first listen was a little bumpy due to
Dave's rhythmic structures and lyriciszing, but MAN this thing
rocks! Cherokee Blood actually brought tears to my eyes. I can't
pick a favorite tune although Southern Emotion and Detroit Horse are
way up there. It's simply a fun album. Thank-you Bro, I'll cherish
this. D. Cosgrove
