Dave Osti -Gentlemans Blues Club (Page 2 of 4)

I finally got around to getting the acoustic cd.  I could only find it available for digital download despite searching high and low so I ended up getting it on itunes.  Excellent album.  The electric album is ok, but there are so many people out there playing that kind of thing that a lot of the albums have started running together for me.  The In the West album, on the other hand, is one of the best albums I've heard in a really long time.

As an aside I'd say my friend loves the Grooveyard album, and I probably would too had I not burned myself out listening to TONS of that stuff over the past several years

The music of Dave Osti has always been close to me.  Towards the end of April 2008 when my wife was in an Indianapolis hospital with two ventilator tubes in her mouth it was the music on my iPod that got me through.  It was Dirty D's "The Thorn" that was on replay alot then.  I still get a lump in my throat listening to that song.  I've also listened to "Brother Ray" and "Walkin Dead" many times thinking about my estranged older brother, addicted and homeless in the City of Angels.  I'm no nine-fingered guitarist, but just like that guy we've both been touched by a troubadour named Osti and better off for it.

Hi Gary, man I wish I could Tour but it cost so much to move a band around and I cant find an Agent in this day and age? I know i could make someone a profit somewhere, im finishing up new Grooveyard trax right now and hope they mix well in the end...

Speaking of which, whoever recorded/engineered/mixed Shotgun Wedding and Longhorn Honeymoon sure got it right. I haven't picked up Red, White and Blue yet (I know, my bad). But anyway, those are two of the CDs I always reach for when it's time to "Show off" the sound system in my truck

Kevin Thanks so much for listening to the in the west cd, those songs bring me peace of mind against the angst of bluesy bar rooms, hahahaha in fact if you are familiar with the great "John Stewart"RIP he was much inspiration to that album cause we had become friends during that time ,I think he may have been the first person I played it for...
