KING HIT CD ROM: WORDS / STEPHEN OLIVER / MUSIC / MATT OTTLEY
ISBN 978 1 876819 70 5

“Stephen Oliver’s voice packs all the tonal shifts of a heavy-duty gearbox. The resonance is bedrock; Richard Burton, Dylan Thomas, Ken Nordine rolled into one.

Matt Ottley’s compositions make for a collaboration of high originality, moving effortlessly through modern classical, rock, blues, and jazz notation.

Oliver’s poems challenge, delight, and entertain.
Beat for beat, groove for groove, Oliver & Ottley perfectly counterpoint one another. The words and the music deliver exactly what this recording promises: a King Hit. “
