I think you meant Gary Olson..... This is an incredible album. Sort of reminds me of early Prefab Sprout.
Also been getting into the New Willie Wisely - Face the Sun and Graham Gouldman's new Modesty Forbidsand one more The lickerish Quartet's Threesome Vol. 1

I discuss a lot about music on Facebook and Twitter, but in different types of groups that seem to work better. That Brendan Benson is really enjoyable. For something more in the soft pop direction, Gary Wilson of The Ladybug Transistor released a self-titled solo album that shows that he not just listened to softer stuff in the '60s, but also the '70s. So far, my favorite record of 2020 is from Kiwi singer-songwriter Nadia Reid, called Out of My Provence.

Subject: Re: Best album I’ve heard in the past 12 months
I get a warm feeling from seeing activity here. The old Audities was a
bright spot in a relatively dark period in my life and reignited my love
for music just when I needed it. Can't say why, but the FB group approach
doesn't do it for me.
What does do it for me is the new Brendan Benson album, particularly this
track:Â https://brendanbenson.bandcamp.com/track/babys-eyes
