Verdict:
This terrific 11 track album 'Fly' by singer
songwriter Gary O'Dea is pure gold, wonderfully co
produced by folk rock legend Eddy Morton and our finest pick of the month. Some
musicians have big opinions but never on their own records; Gary O'Dea on the
other hand makes no attempt to censor his views or passion and this lyrically is a
very strong, charming and deep to the point album. Highlights are tunes such as folk
stomp friendly 'All Down The Days'; the reflective 'Be Careful What You Wish For'
dedicated to “Parasites and 50p's worth of fame” and the richly textured 'Things Are
Gonna Change' which has a superb fellow artist tribute via the clever catchy
chorus lyric “I sing an Ian Curtis Song”. Gary offers a variety of song styles
including acoustic folk pop, fusions of funk n bhangra, soul, blues, cajun and
jazz. I strongly recommend that you hear this album.

Verdict:
Produced by Gavin Monaghan, this 4 track
EP by Halesowen based singer songwriter PTR Williams
is a true gem. Packed with positive tender soul searching acoustic tunes that inspire
upon listening. Name any classic pop song from the 1960's and I bet you that songs like 'Text
Me A Smile' are on par; soothing gentle hooks with so much warmth that they could melt the
dick off the incredible Hulk. I'm not going to suggest people he sounds like because to me he
sounds like PTR Williams. I've seen him play live a few times now and this EP successfully
demonstrates just what a professional artist and performer he is. However he's extremely
humble so tell the world about his music. I'll start; he's an original musical genius trapped in
the body of a man who won't admit he's a genius. Recommended for fans of Donovan, The
Beautiful South and Neil Young. Please now type in PTR Williams on your computer, iPad or
whatever and download this EP.
