About Me

Country Gazette (Dutch) May Edition 2007David Olney "One Tough Town"........David Olney has a weak spot for Holland. He likes to perform here because his audience listens and understands his songs full of puns. A Dutch songwriter even managed to get a song on Olney's album, we wrote about it earlier. On this cd is "No Lies" by Rudy van Dam from Leiden (Holland). It is one of the better songs with a noticeable resemblance to the style of Townes van Zandt. It must be a great honour that a renowned singer/songwriter from the USA recognized the beauty of this song written by someone from Holland......by Hans van Dam (not related)
