NASHVILLE RECORDING ARTIST

 Innovative, creative and totally catchy. I loved it!!!!!
Reviewer: Jason
I absolutely loved this song! Especially the lyrics that were both profound and poetic. Dr.Oxide's music is so refreshing. A must buy CD

To immediately set the tone of "3 of Hearts" - the cd from singer-songwriter Dr. Oxide from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada - the production is sometimes very brave. The songs from "3 of Hearts" are recorded in the legendary Gene
Breeden Studios, Nashville, Tennessee where various recordings took place for (among others) Merle Haggard, Garth Brooks, George Jones, oy Acuff and Waylon Jennings.

Always anchored in sober country, he switches from ballads to rhythmic songs, just like he also varies the issues which he writes and sings about.

Dr. Oxide is a cultural storyteller who discusses current events as well as
dreams; sings just as easily about pollution ("Too much Shit in the Sea") as
about the weather ("Crying in the Rain"). All these songs are written by
Larry Sieniuc, 'the Doctor' himself, except "Locked In Pop"
(Sieniuc/Kuchinsky) and "Dog Song" (Sieniuc/Kenyon).

This brave production of "3 of Hearts" lay in the hands of Gary "Brotherman"
Branchaud (Joyful Sound Co.), the recording and mixing was by David Signs in
the Gene Breeden Studios. The digital mastering lay in the hands of Martin
Anderson, who we know from his collaboration with (among others) Jerry Lee
Lewis, Jo Dee Messina, George Jones, Vince Gill, Lee Ann Rhimes and so many
others. For accompaniment, he could count on Nashville's renowned band
?Monster Pocket? with members Gary "Brotherman" Branchaud (Willie Nelson,
Kenny Rogers, the Jordonaires, Lenny Klinger's Galaxy Band) on base. David
Signs on keyboards, Butch "Styles Bitchly" Davis on guitar and Fred
Saterfied on drums.

Dr. Oxide merges electric country folk with atmospheric pop songs and
evocative ballads. But above all, he combines these gripping melodies with
poignant poetry.

Om maar meteen het manco te noemen van "3 of Hearts", de cd van
singer-songwriter Dr. Oxide uit Edmonton, Alberta, Canada: de productie is
soms erg braafjes. De liedjes van "3 of Hearts" zijn opgenomen in de
legendarische Gene Breeden Studios, Nashville, Tennessee waar diverse
opnames gebeurden voor o.a. Merle Haggard, Garth Brooks, George Jones, Roy
Acuff en Waylon Jennings. Immer verankerd in sobere country wisselt hij
ballads af met tempoliedjes, net zoals hij ook varieert in de onderwerpen
waarover hij schrijft en zingt. Dr. Oxide is een rasverteller, die put uit
dagelijkse gebeurtenissen en dromerijen; zingt net zo makkelijk over
vervuiling ("Too much Shit in the Sea") als over het weer ("Crying in the
Rain"). Al deze songs zijn geschreven door Larry Sieniuc, 'the Doctor' zelf,
behalve "Locked In Pop" (Sieniuc/Kuchinsky) en "Dog Song" (Sieniuc/Kenyon).

popdeuntjes en gevoelige ballads. Maar vooral voorziet hij deze pakkende
melodieën van rake poëzie

We live in the plastic age - one of genetically modified foods, mad cow, avian flu, hormone enhanced farmed fish.
Let's rethink our approach to ensure that whatever our individual choices it is from a more environmentally sustainable and
humane point of view.

Life is Humour... . Or is it? thedoctor@droxide.com

The Official Cow Song !
Very Al Yankovich!Has that late 80's sound with a ninety's edge. Having grown-up in the country, I can appreciate this song! I can actually picture the writer of this song sittin' out on a hillside looking out over the pasture watching the cows and saying "I think I'll write a song about this." It's pretty funny, mainly for two reasons: the vocals have that goofy expression much like Talking Heads, and the observation about a young woman who buys plastic shoes instead of leather making her statement silently. The sounds effects are pretty funny in the end as well. It's a cute song! Very amusing!

Yeah its a good one
Sweet, the harmonica is great i love it. the melody the guitar the whole thing is amazing , you just get that feel, ohh soo good!

They're munchin' grass, they're standin' st
I'm a fool for Bob Dylan/Neil Young whiny harmonica so this song grabbed me from the beginning. This song is very entertaining and was probably a gas to record. I love sort of Beatles/Neil Young feel and the tongue-in-cheek lyrics and vocals not unlike the Dillards on their Wheatstraw Suite and Backporch Bluegrass albims. They are obviously having fun with it, which translates to the listener. I kept wanting to listen to it one more time until I had listened four or five times. It's quirky like Coen brothers film, I'm putting it on my playlist.

Nice to hear somebody stand up and take a sta..
I've seen a lot of people doing reviews here on GB complaining about long intros. I'm not one of those people. I hope to God that I don't end up like those guys on TAXI, counting the seconds of all the intros to songs on the Country Music Top 40. 13 seconds? Bah. 43 is just fine.

It's an interesting mish-mash of sounds here. That staccatoey, clean electric guitar sounds like one of those 50s guys -- Earth Angel and such. Then there's the simple but for the most part tasteful harmonica, and the straight-on-the-half-note bass, an organ, and a vocalist with, shall we say "interesting" technique & phrasing. But it's not a thing. This guy knows he's not Julio Iglesias, and accepts that and moves on. Reminds me of the guy from the Flaming Lips a little. Too with the lyrics: "Cows on a hill..." followed by the bovine lowing of, I'm guessing, the various members of the band. Nice to hear somebody stand up and take a stand for something.

Its tough to be a cow.
This made me a smile.I like your song. finally somebody tells it how it is for these poor creatures.Lyrics and melody fit perfectly and I wouldnt change anything.Order me up a side of fries!
- rjottoboni from Portland, Oregon

Great, Love It
I am a sucker for the harmonica, really cool. great sound, loved the organ and the vocals were damn cool. Very catchy chorus. The vocals reminded me of a mix between 'they might be giants' and 'the violent femms'. I enjoyed the lyrics as well. Simple, humorous, and origional. Production sounded very good, and I loved the ending, very funny and cool. Think I will download the song, nice job guys, keep having fun with the music you are making. It's nice to hear a band keeping it light, and having fun. All of sudden I got really hungry, for a hamburger....

- theelephant from Nashville, Tennessee

GREAT INTRO!!!!
Great intro, I love a harmonica! Guitar line is very good, hammond organ is a nice touch. Like your voice, are you singing about cows? This reminds me of something talking heads would do. This song made me smile. I like songs that aren't so serious, it's a nice break from all the angry youth mad at their parents!!!!!!!!!!
