Marty O'Reilly and the Old Soul Orchestra

Add Date: February 13

Artist: Marty O'Reilly and the Old Soul Orchestra

Album: Stereoscope

Label: Self-released

Genre: Blues, soul, folk rock 

Comments: I was really excited when I heard that this album had come out. I am a big fan of this group, yet was equally apprehensive as folks usually are when artists that they love release new music. I wasn't disappointed. Gritty rock styling comes together with blues-ey wailing from a voice "reminiscent of a young Van Morrison" to create something really special. This album has more emphasis on instrumentation that previous efforts, and does so in a way that showcases the talents of the Old Soul Orchestra without detracting from O'Reilly's lyricism and presence.

Recommended Tracks: 2, 3, 4, 8

DNP: none
