It details histories both global and personal.\nLonnie Holley’s harrowing youth and young manhood in the Jim Crow South\nare well-told at this point - his sale into a different home as a child for just a\nbottle of whiskey; his abuse at the infamous Mount Meigs correctional facility\nfor boys; the destruction of his art environment by the Birmingham airport\nexpansion. But Holley’s music is less a performance of pain endured and more\na display of perseverance, of relentless hope. Intricately and lovingly produced\nby LA’s Jacknife Lee (The Cure, REM, Modest Mouse), there is both kinetic,\nshortwave funk that call to mind Brian Eno’s \u003ci\u003eMy Life in the Bush of Ghosts\u003c\/i\u003e and\nthe deep space satellite sounds of Eno’s ambient works. But it’s a tremendous\nachievement in sonics all its own.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt’s also an achievement in the refinement of Holley’s\nimpressionistic, stream-of-consciousness lyrics. On the title track which deals\nwith mutual human understanding”, Holley is able to make a profound point\nas ever in far fewer phrases: “The deeper we go, the more chances there are,\nfor us to understand the oh-me’s and understand the oh-my’s.” Illustrious\ncollaborators like Michael Stipe, Sharon Van Etten, Moor Mother and Justin\nVernon of Bon Iver serve as not only as choirs of angels and co-pilots to\ngive Lonnie’s message flight but as proof of Lonnie Holley as a galvanizing,\niconoclastic force across the music community.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jagjaguwar","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50482036801867,"sku":"2006561","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Clear LP","offer_id":50482038243659,"sku":"2006562","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50482035687755,"sku":"2006560","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/jag437.lonnie.ohmeohmi.lp.3000_404d9c6c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727548476","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/oh-me-oh-my","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
