Davey O

-The Long Way Home-

CD Review - By Bob Silvestri
bobsilvestri@bestofwny.com

It has been interesting to say the least to see Davey O grow into one of the areas most consistent and outstanding artists. His growth can be charted over the course of his first four albums from simple folksinger to well rounded artist versed in many forms of music. His songwriting has taken him to the top of the field in this regard and he regularly plays with some of the areas other top talents many who help him on his newest release The Long Way Home. He still retains those folksinger roots but shows influence from groups such as Wilco, The Band and Blue Rodeo. His earlier work often featured just him and a guitar along with help from frequent collaborator Jeffery Mikulski. On The Long Way Home Davey O gets help from Jim Palys on drums along with Mikulski on guitar, mandolin, dobro and E-Bow. Guests include Buffalo Music Hall of Fame members Geoff Perry and Joe Rozler who add fiddle and keyboards to the tracks "Niagara" and "You Won't Believe" respectively. Dee Adams and Noa Bursie stop by to add sweet harmony vocals to a couple of tracks and Bruce Wojick adds some fine banjo and guitar to the track "You Won't Believe". Outstanding cuts on The Long Way Home include the a fore mentioned "You Won't Believe", "The Deed is Done" the laid back "No Use" and the title cut.

Davey O. - April, 2009 Newsletter  - http://www.myspace.com/daveyomusic


Hello to all -

This newsletter for the month of April brings with it the exciting news that my new CD, "The Long Way Home"  will
be available at shows possibly as early as April 1st.  It's been a long
time coming, and I know we have more than a few folks out there that
have been waiting and wondering when the new disc would finally see the
light of day.  The "TLWH"  will also be available worldwide by the end of April on CD Baby (www.cdbaby.com)  not only in their online store, but digitally distributed for download at sites such as iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, eMusic, PayPlay, and Amazon!  
It's been an exciting and hectic last month, completing the final
tracks, mixing, approving artwork and masters, before sending it off
for production.  There's a certain saddness to completing a project,
almost, I would imagine, like that of sending a child off to school for
the first time.  But now the songs will have a new life in the world of
live performance.  I have undertaken an ambitious campaign of
submitting "TLWH"  to various Folk, Americana and Alt-Country
formatted radio stations across the Northeastern and Midwestern US for
airplay consideration, as well as to several publications locally,
nationally and internationally for review.  Fingers are crossed, and as
soon as I hear any news, I'll pass it along.  Here's the schedule for
April - I have also included the last date for March, as a reminder to
anyone residing in the Rochester, NY area.  Thanks for all of your
continued support!!!  We'll see you out there!  - Wishing you peace
& happiness - Davey
