We were pretty impressed with the debut solo album from former Greenhorn and current musical wizard Brian Olive back in 2009. The garage rock and soul that emanated from the album made it one of the more under-appreciated releases of the year. Well, Brian is back and has enlisted the help of Black Keys frontman and sometimes solo artist Dan Auerbach to help with his sophomore release. Olive shared the recording and production duties with Auerbach, but make no mistake, his fingerprints are dominant on Two Of Everything.
The new album is set for release on June 7th from Alive Naturalsound Records and we have the first MP3 from the record here for you to sample today, and it’s a gem.
In addition, Olive will be playing in the area twice this summer, first on July 23rd at Southgate House in Newport, and next at MOTR on September 2.

I also loved Brian Olive’s debut album, and I’m looking forward to the new one, which I will buy, sound unheard.
Equally looking forward to Brian’s stop at the SGH in July (on a Saturday–woohoo!)
