NASHVILLE SCENE
Nashville Scene is an alternative newsweekly in Nashville, Tennessee. It was founded in 1989, became a part of Village Voice Media in 1999, and later joined the ranks of sixteen other publications after a merger of Village Voice Media with New Times Media early in 2006. In 2009, the paper was acquired by SouthComm Communications. The publication mainly reports and opines on music, arts, entertainment, and local and state politics in Nashville. (More from Wikipedia)
Patrick Rodgers writing for Nashville Scene has this to say about the Brian Olive oeuvre: “Think high cooing vocals and airy harmonies above bluesy, gum-smacking grooves that simmer and shimmer, augmented on phenomenal cuts like ‘Back Sliding Soul’ by arrangements full of ear candy — underwater boogie piano, rump-rocking percussion, shrapnel blasts of rubbery guitar and greasy sax, and Esquivel-like electro-doinkage (wait, is that really a bagpipe?).”
