P. J. O’Connell
"Dream Life"

More mainstream but consistently more listenable is "Dream Life",
from P. J. O’Connell. Moving from roots rock to bittersweet alt-country
to Byrds/Gram Parsons territory, he demonstrates range and a knack for
hooks and choruses that bite hard and deep. "Dream Life" stands shoulder
to shoulder with any alt-country anywhere. (Tonight at the Lizard
Lounge). Kevin R. Convey
