Oh Me Oh My (CD)
Lonnie Holley
Amoeba Review
Lonnie Holley’s Oh Me Oh My is healing, transcendent, cosmic, and cool. “I am a part of the wonder,” Holley intones on the second track, setting the tone for an album that finds the sacrosanct within the everyday, the beauty that remains after the dissolution of pain. An eclectic, all-star cast of collaborators appears to buoy Holley’s vision, with contributions from Michael Stipe (“Oh Me, Oh My”), Justin Vernon of Bon Iver (“Kindness Will Follow Your Tears”), Sharon Van Etten (“None of Us Will Have But a Little While”), Moor Mother (“I Am Part of the Wonder,” “Earth Will Be There”), and Rokia Koné (“If We Get Lost They Will Find Us”). Produced by Jacknife Lee (REM, The Cure), Oh Me Oh My is both a testament to Holley’s artistry and to the wonders of life.
