The Oak Ridge Boys - Boys Night Out
Review by Gary Hill
While he doesn’t sing a lot of the leads, for my money Richard Sterban is the most distinctive thing about the sound of the Oak Ridge Boys.

More
Oddnote - Oddnote
Review by Gary Hill
This is a new band just formed last summer. There are ways you can hear that in the music.

O. A. R. (Of A Revolution) - In Between Now And Then
Review by Gary Hill
O.A.R. is a band with a bit of an identity crisis, when it comes to their name. No, the band is not "Oar", but rather the name is an anacronym that stands for Of A Revolution.

Off Broadway - Live At Fitzgerald's
Review by Gary Hill
In the mid to the late 1970's it seemed that there was a prevailing sound on the local music scene in the Chicago area. Based on hard edged guitar, Beatles leanings, catchy pop arrangements, and an almost punky texture, this sound was dubbed "power pop".

Oh, Jeremiah - Tall Tales and Tiny Fables
Review by Gary Hill
The heart and soul of Oh, Jeremiah is singer/songwriter Jeremiah Stricklin.

More
Old New York - Before We Hit the Ground
Review by Gary Hill
If you like alternative rock, you are sure to find something you will enjoy here.

More
Old New York - Washed Hands (Digital Single)
Review by Diane Hill
Old New York have been creating music since 2009.

More
Old Sea Brigade - Old Sea Brigade
Review by Gary Hill
This set is unusual. I suppose the underlying factor here, more than anything else, is sort of a folk rock vibe.

More
Joe Olnick - Up All Night
Review by Gary Hill
Joe Olnick plays everything here except the drums.

More
Joe Olnick - Joe Olnick Band - Downtown
Review by Gary Hill
This new instrumental album is classy stuff. Previously I reviewed an album by Joe Olnick that featured him playing every instrument but the drums.

More
Omeri - Day Dream'n
Review by Gary Hill
This is a soulful, modern pop oriented set. It has a lot of mainstream appeal, but it isn't without its defects.

More
Once Around Saturn - These Promises
Review by Gary Hill
If you are a fan of the electronic based 80s music, you will love this. This is really a retro piece of nostalgia.

More
One Adam One - Where Do I Begin
Review by Gary Hill
One Adam One is the name of an act featuring Adam Reichmann and Todd Schnitzer. This EP features an intriguing mix of music.

More
Michael ONeill - I Like It Like That
Review by Gary Hill
This might not be the most original thing I’ve heard, but it’s quite a catchy and compelling disc.

More
Sara Ontaneda - Hey Maria (digital single)
Review by Gary Hill
It is easy to think of modern pop music as a sea of over-produced sounds with all the soul and life sucked from it.

More
Sara Ontaneda - Separated by the Sea (digital single)
Review by Gary Hill

I know it is the old cliché, "music used to be better." While there is some truth to that, the fact is, there is a lot of great music being made today.


More
Ooggz - Welcome to Neptune
Review by Gary Hill
I like hip hop, I’m just not blown away by all of it.

More
The Orange Goodness - Flying Under the Radar of Chaos
Review by Gary Hill
This EP has a sound that seems to often land near power-pop.

More
Oranjjoolius - Oranjjoolius
Review by Gary Hill
It’s pretty tough to find a lot of information about this outfit. They are apparently fairly new.

More
Orgy - Vapor Transmission
Review by Brian Angotti
Just when you thought Orgy was going to be one hit wonders, the band drops a killer album. Vapor Transmission is the second effort from the gender-bending band Orgy.
More
Orgy - Talk Sick
Review by Gary Hill
Mix Duran Duran with Marilyn Manson and you are pretty close to what you get here.

More
Orleans - New Star Shining
Review by Gary Hill
This album was released last year. I didn't get a copy in time for our December issue last year, so I've been hanging onto it until now.

More
Osibisa - Sunshine Day : The Boyhood Sessions (50th Anniversary Edition)
Review by Gary Hill
Osibisa is a band that's always been sort of at the edge of my interests, largely because Roger Dean did one of their album covers. I've never really heard a lot of their music, though.

More
Donny Osmond - One Night Only
Review by Gary Hill
It's interesting how perceptions are altered when you just listen to something version seeing and hearing it. I reviewed this same show in DVD form in the last issue of Music Street Journal.

More
Other Desert Cities - The History of What’s To Come
Review by Gary Hill
The easiest description for this four track set would be “pop rock.”

More
The Other Life - Moody
Review by Gary Hill
This extended single or EP has three versions of the same song. The first is the main version, and it is followed by two remixes.

More
Otis - Eyes of the Sun
Review by Gary Hill
If you dig a classic blues rock sound, there is plenty to like here. These guys almost feel like they should have been around in the 1970s.

More
Outlaws - Legacy Live
Review by Gary Hill
This new double live CD is from the Outlaws' 2015 tour. These guys were always, in many ways, the quintessential Southern rock band.

More
Willard Overstreet and The Highborn Kinsmen - All We Are
Review by Gary Hill
This group is a rock band. They don't try for any big titles beyond that.

More
Trevor Owen - And the Moon Rising
Review by Gary Hill
Folk music and other mellower sounds are on the menu here. This is an effective set that never feels redundant or tired.

More
Keith Oxman / Frank Morelli - The Ox-Mo Incident
Review by Gary Hill
This is a collaboration between tenor saxophonist Keith Oxman and bassoonist Frank Morelli.

More
Keith Oxman - Two Cigarettes In The Dark
Review by Gary Hill

If you dig old-school jazz, you should find plenty to enjoy here. This set features a nice variety of sounds and pieces, all set in a vintage jazz style.


More
Ozomatli - Non-Stop Mexico to Jamaica
Review by Gary Hill
The title of this album is pretty accurate. This is basically Latin music with a reggae edge.

More
Chet O’Keefe - Because of You
Review by Gary Hill
If you like your folk delivered with a lot of country, you might like this.
