Gary O'Hara Band
Dirty Money
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
Gary O'Hara Band has released a single called "Dirty Money." It is good ole rock 'n' roll in the mid-western sense. It's kind of like a cross between any of Billy Joel's or Carmen's most rocky tunes. The flipside, titled "Call Me Troublemaker," has even more of that good ole' r&r sound, with honky tonk pianos crashing in here and there. Jimmy might like this one. There's a real cool sax solo on this song, which seems to be about Satan tempting the Christian rocker. The story twists at the end when Satan gets shocked that the musician is using r&r against him now. The musician sings, "So don't tell me 'bout your r&r/ We got the music without losing our souls/ It's in your eyes, you look surprised at the change/ Now there's a couple of things that we are gonna rearrange." Gary's band is currently being represented by Rez's manager. Hopes are that a record deal is on the way. If you're interested, write Gary @ Crucible Records, Box 2921, Des Plaines IL 60017.
