Enjoy “Jerusalem Tomorrow” as heard on David Olney’s “THE STONE” thematic mini-album (Deadbeet Records, 2012). David is delighted to share this second installment of his new thematic series, which launched in 2011 with the David Olney “Presents FILM NOIR” mini-album. This video was shot by Jack Irwin for Silvertone Recording in Nashville, TN. The song speaks for itself but the ending always surprises, despite knowing the outcome. It has been recorded by Emmylou Harris, Paul K and The Weathermen and others.
Extraordinarily prolific singer-songwriter/’net broadcaster DAVID OLNEY has become known worldwide for his intense live performances – especially with multi-instrumentalist SERGIO WEBB – as well as his intelligent compositions recorded by Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Del McCoury, Tim O’Brien, Slaid Cleaves, Dale Ann Bradley, Ann Rabson, Kane/Welch/Kaplin and others. In addition to always being on tour in the US or overseas, David broadcasts every Tuesday on his site with his “Fireside Chat” video shorts featuring the story-behind-a-song, in addition to sharing his stellar classic poetry recitations on YouTube. “THE STONE” is David’s second installment of his new series of thematic mini-albums, which follows his “David Olney presents FILM NOIR” release.
David’s first installment of his new series of thematic mini-albums – “David Olney Presents: FILM NOIR” – earned a spot on the Philadelphia City Paper Top 10 Roots Albums of 2011, citing, “these dark stories and their perfect small jewels of cool jazz must be honored for offering fascinating listening, both lyrically and musically.”
David has become synonymous with Classic Poetry as new fans have flocked to several of his stellar video recitations posted on YouTube, such as Coleridge’s “Kubla Kahn”; Brownlng’s “My Last Dutchess” and others. In late 2009, David began a weekly live interactive broadcast on Ustream.tv, sharing music, songwriting insight, good humor and wild stories.
