News / Out of Town Johnny O’Donnell Gets in the Van Dyke Parks Studio
Posted by Dave Segal on Tue, Jun 2, 2009 at 2:05 PM
Ex-Holy Ghost Revival member Johnny O’Donnell is currently in Los Angeles recording with Van Dyke Parks, a skilled arranger/composer who’s famous for writing lyrics for the Beach Boys, providing orchestral accompaniment for Joanna Newsom’s Ys, and his 1968 cult classic LP Song Cycle.
O’Donnell also has a new album titled Hellbodies, an easy-going gem on Ggnzla Records (ed. of 200). It’s a literate, melodically sophisticated collection of drama-major rock that leaves no doubt why Parks would be interested in lending a helping hand to the suave Bainbridge Island singer-songwriter.
