Overdub [Enhanced]

Amazon.com
Singer-songwriter David Garza knows how to write a catchy song. Overdub's opening track, "Drone," gets its hooks in you immediately--cutting and pasting folky rhythms with layers of piano, bass-heavy beats, and eclectic guitar playing, while Garza's quick-lipped rhymes speak about growing up and losing your spark. On this self-produced album, though, Garza is far from losing his spark. He takes witty shots at the music industry ("Poor Jesus still trying to cross over" from "Say Baby"), turns the gospel on its head ("Praise the Lord and shake your ass / kingdom come coming fast" from "God's Hands"), and croons like a modern-day Roy Orbison ("Alone"), closing out with a sweet slow-dance number called "Let Me." With his voice sounding off in an Elvis folk-warble, the songs on Overdub are packed with an unusual energy that spreads across the musical map. The slick production work aims this album straight for the mainstream, but as Garza is a master of both the slow ballad and the quirky rock collage, his talents keep him from blending into the same old song-and-dance routine gripping the current adult-alternative scene. --Jennifer Maerz

Overdub: Underrated.......2003-11-29

What will it take for Davíd Garza to hit the big time and get the commercial attention he deserves? His debut album, 1998's This Euphoria, featured one of the catchiest songs of the latter 90's that no one heard with "Discoball World." A fairly heavy M2 rotation and Best Buy promotion that summer couldn't buy him the sales he deserved either and unfortunately, unless the WB prostitutes several of the tracks off Overdub, commercial success is highly unlikely for this disc as well. Aptly enough his sophomore album's first single, "Say Baby," laments the current state of commercial radio as he croons, "DJ's won't spin your jam unless you say, `baby love me honey.'"

Garza can best be described as what Lenny Kravitz would have sounded like had he laid off the Prince and went for Zeppelin & Hendrix instead. On the hypnotic "God's Hands" he channels Jeff Buckley singing an Indian raga over swirling guitars. Juliana Hatfield repays Garza for his production and guitar work on her Beautiful Creature by turning in a guest appearance lending background vocals to "Keep On Crying." Mr. Garza, I have some kids named Dawson and Felicity on the phone for you.

Overlooked Singer-Songwriter.......2003-04-10

Well, this is a pleasant surprise. David Garza, who is not a household name, has released an album far better than pop musicians who are considerably more famous. Blue-eyed soul in generous doses...No lack of cheeky humor. And just when you think he's a satirist, skewering holy rollers or the music industry, he flips into the gorgeous Roy Orbisonesque lyricism of "Alone" or the sweet honesty and directness of "Let Me Be." This is as beautiful as it is anonymous. If you're looking for a hidden musical treasure, check out Garza's "Overdub" or Joseph Arthur's "Redemption's Son." Singer-songwriters of exquisite quality didn't only make music in the 1970s.

Overlooked.......2003-01-27

This one gets better with every spin. Garza cannot be pigeonholed; he plays soul (including on Say Baby as he is apparently tweaking the industry for not recognizing it in his own work), some terrific hook driven arena rock ("Blow My Mind" and, to my taste, the best cut on the CD, "Crown of Thorns"), ballads in a voice with range that approaches that of the great Roy Orbison ("Soul Custody," "Keep on Crying," and "Let Me"), and even a bit of different perspective Christian rock ("God's Hands"). Sometimes he gets into a rhyming-for-the-sake-of-rhyming binge like a thousand bad Dylan imitators, but that's a minor drawback to a consistently satisfying and diverse CD.

I think I found a goldmine!.......2002-04-11

I guess I can call myself a David Garza neophyte! I picked up this cd two weeks ago...the blurb in my BMG music catalog described him as a mixture of Prince, David Bowie and Donovan, and that really piqued my curiosity. While my musical tastes are wide and diverse (classical to punk), my favorites tend to fall within the moderate zone of each genre. I am getting burned out on commercial pop radio these days, so I find myself questing for new `undiscovered' (read: not commercially bombarded!) treasures...and I think I found one! I really like the lilting poetic-ness of the lyrics, and the wit! Some of the lyrics are just plain fun, but some can be construed as `deep'. Even if you aren't looking for great philosophical lyrics, this cd just rocks! My favorite song on this cd is `Crown of Thorns'; it has a wild, chunky, guitar riff that is irresistible! `Too Much' is another goody, very toned-down, which suits the song to a `T' - - I think this song must be where some reviewer pulled the Prince reference - - there's also a very nice blue-sy guitar touch to this one. `Say Baby'' is all about the tribulations of trying to get radio-time for your song; it succeeds at worming its way into your brain and you'll find yourself singing it all day long. `Blow My Mind' is a simple rockin' song; nothing more, nothing less! `Keep on Crying' is a beautiful ballad-type of song, as is `Let Me'.

There is an excellent variety of tempo on this cd; I play it all day at work, and then I take it home and play it while I clean the kitchen! A very fun aspect of this disc is the `Underdub' tracks which are accessible if you play it on your computer. You can hear the acoustic or work-in-progress versions of these songs.

If I had any criticism, it would be that the lyrics can seem excessively repetitious, and that irked me the first time I listened to it, but now I just sing along! I've been impressed with this cd to the point of wanting to learn more about David Garza; there are a couple of websites and a definite fan-base out there. I was pleased with his bio, he seems like a really nice guy and I wish him much success in his artistic endeavors. I am looking forward to seeing him play live in the near future, he seems to be in L.A. a lot! and, I'm picking up his previous cd's so I can get a better picture of his artistic growth.

More great David.......2002-03-01

This is yet another super CD by one of my favorite musicians of all time. My favorite track is "Too Much": mellow, beautiful, and wonderful. There are also some cool heavier rock songs, including a great rock re-recording of an acoustic song from a previous album ("God's Hands"). Check it out!

DUBPOETRY LEGENDRY.......2001-05-03

Oko Onuora's music is impeccable,though I have not listened to this album before;I have no doubt whatsoever about how excellent I assume it is. Believe it from me and take my words for it,if anybody ever listened to His music,particularly this album would without any doubt commend what it is.Talk of lyrics,heavy sounds of various combination,especially key board,percussion,acoustics and not forgetting the drums and how the mix is meant to vibrate giving out a nicely sweet and softly music in all. Still, willy-nilly,Oko has the original founded talent in the reggae industry. However,his music is very rare to find especially to this end of the world,it's really difficulty to get.

Great New Band!!!.......2002-12-30

My husband and I saw this band in August of 2001 perform on the VA Beach Boardwalk near Laverne's. They were great! I recommend any of their CD's. Their music is so upbeat with a twist of alternative wrapped into it. I have remembered their name since that night and I've been looking for them on MTV as an upcoming group...They were that GOOD!

Excellent band with great tunes!.......2002-12-14

Lucky Town is an alt-rock band from Virginia Beach that has been on fire the last couple of years. This is their second album, and is even better than their first. Tracks like Flipside and Complicated really rock (you HAVE to see them live) while others like Solid Blue allow you to get swept away in Courtney's incredible vocals. With Wendell's guitar licks, Bob's bass line and Kevin's drums rounding out a great sound, you will be very pleased with this disc.

I just want to add that in my review above, I rated this at 4 stars. However, it seems to be showing up as only 1 star. This is an error on the websites behalf. I attempted to correct this mistake, but it STILL shows only 1 out of 5. Let me assure you this is definitly 4 star, no, make that 5 star material! I highly recommend this CD
