One Tough Town takes us on a back-roads tour of American music, and while totally entertaining, shows us a side that isn�t always pretty. The dark-edged title track, for instance, is the kind of song that can only be written from first-hand experience and years on the road. But as Nietzsche�s old saw reminds: �What doesn�t kill you makes you stronger.� And on One Tough Town, Olney is stronger than ever.
A veteran of the Nashville alternative group The X-Rays, who recorded for Rounder, appeared on �Austin City Limits� and opened for Elvis Costello in the �80s, Olney then made several acclaimed solo albums for such labels as Rounder/Philo, Dead Reckoning and Loud House Records. His songs have been covered by numerous artists, including Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Del McCoury and even Chicago bluesman Lonnie Brooks.
