Album Notes

D.B. Rielly’'s debut full-length album release, "Love Potions and Snake Oil"” is a wide-ranging collection of Americana music spanning several genres, including Roots, Zydeco, Blues and Alternative Country. Thematically, many of the tracks poignantly address longing for love [“"Don’t Give Up On Me"”, “"Love Me Today"”]. Similar in theme, the album’'s first single and standout track, “"Save All Your Kisses,"” is a beautifully-written, timeless piano ballad. Yet, balancing out these heart-tugging tunes are several playfully raucous ditties demonstrating D.B.’'s trademark sense of humor [“"We'’re All Going Straight To Hell"” and "“I Got A Girlfriend"”]. Another stand-out track, "“Got A Mind,”" follows a father battling his inclinations toward his own ideas of justice.

While the songs showcase D.B.’'s various talents as a banjo, accordion and guitar player, all of the songs are intrinsically held together by D.B.'’s unique, expressive voice, arguably his strongest and most impressive instrument. The album was self-produced and mixed & mastered by Grammy-nominated studio engineer Scott Noll (Manhattan Transfer, James Moody) at Midtown Sound studio (Nora Jones, Cyndi Lauper) in Manhattan.

D.B. Rielly’'s music, much like that of alternative country legends Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash, is multi-generational in its appeal. And, D.B. is praised by music lovers and fellow musicians as diverse as B.B. King, Phil Ramone and KRS-One.

Heck, the new album even comes with a guarantee… of sorts. Adds D.B., "“I personally guarantee that if these here concocted remedies fail to eliminate all the trouble & woe that befall man or beast...… I’ll eat a bug.”"

My album of the year
author: John Matterface
                            
Like redhead, my copy arrived today and it has already been played five times, including once in my car when I had to go out and couldn't be parted from the disc. Most certainly my album of the year. My one wish is that I could get to NY and see this guy perform live.

One of the MOST amazing experiences of my life

As a music fan from "The Live Music Capitol of the World" with over 40 years of listening to, promoting local talent, experiencing as much music as I possibly could, I am just in complete and utter AWE at this incredible recording of this extremely talented Man. I have been lucky enough to make his acquaintence and to call him a friend. I will make sure that I do everything in my power to get his music to as many listeners as I can. I find DB's music an incredible gift and I really do cherish the fact that I was able to add this recording to my collection. Just got the CD today and have already listened to it 5 times. Thanks, my friend. Congratulations. You are on your way. I AM Happy for you. You deserve it.

I ordered this CD after seeing a few of D.B.'s videos on YouTube and loving the music (and the clever videos). The whole CD is fantastic. And, it comes in a really cool tin box! Highly recommended!
