Oic12 (2:56) - A very happy melodic up tempo 12 string romp.
The title comes from a Michigan license plate that read: Oi812. That’s a better title, but the piece would get pulled over with a name like that! It is most fun to play, and inspired by Leo Kottke’s most whimsical picking.
Nashville based Colin O'Brien is a master of the acoustic guitar. His compositions harken to Leo Kottke, whilst his dancing feet groove in the wake of the late John Hartford, who O'Brien also sites as a primary songwriting inspiration.
“Thirteen is a mesmerizing journey that evokes the virtuosity and fluid ambience of John Fahey and Leo Kottke. ” Craig Havighurst WMOT Nashville
