With an opening electric guitar solo that’s to die for, Clay Joule brings in O’Dream with such a melodic majesty that you can’t help but find yourself entirely flooded by the scale of it al. It’s a defiant classic rock piece, a rock and roll ballad that stays true to convention and the ethos of the genre. Bringing a richness to the arrangement, a full and complete breakdown that has you singing along to the dream that Joule espouses, “O’Dream” finds its niche and its power through its emotional core.
There’s a resplendence to this track, a kind of radiant and exalting catharsis that’s slowly able to exude out of it as the guitar progresses. Old school or not, it feels timeless and succeeds in that capacity. True blooded rock and roll ballad without a shadow of doubt.
