I have the first CD and enjoyed it. I doubt it would pass as "folk" music here at the Mudcat but I enjoyed it. They never eally rock out on the CD I have. In a word I'd describe them as soothing. |

From: GUEST I doubt it would pass as "folk" music here at the Mudcat This does seem to be the last bastion of them that still can't accept what happened at Newport in 1965. Ollabelle is a great FOLK band. I've even read about them in Sing Out! The Folk Song Magazine. |

I am glad to have the CD. I made a special effort to see them at Folk Alliance but on that occasion it seemed liked the singers were accompanying the drummer and I had to leave after about three numbers. The drums were at least two, maybe three times, louder than anything else. In that small room the drums did not need to miked at all. But that is the fault of the sound guys not the band. I think I would have like the vocals if I could have heard them. And they do pay homage to Ola Belle Reed. Using her name was intentional as a way of remembering her. |
