[Tracks] Ola Podrida - Donkey
It has been awhile since I’ve really been blown away by a track after one listen. Well, thanks to Sean over at Said the Gramophone, I can happily reset my “days since” counter. Ola Podrida is the work of David Wingo, who apparently is better known for his work on movies than in music (I know this because a Google search for David Wingo returns his IMDB before his myspace). Luckily, you don’t need to know anything about the guy to appreciate his talent. “Donkey” starts out with an unassuming banjo line and Wingo’s relaxed singing. Over the course of it’s wonderful 4 minutes these elements build into a resounding cry, his voice bending but never breaking under the strain. I immediately had to play it again in order to process what had just happened. Ola Podrida’s sophomore album Belly of The Lion is out now on Western Vinyl and is definitely worth a listen. Grab two more outstanding tracks here.
