I Wanna Stay 03:41 Release Notes: Each week, dozens of CDs arrive credited to men with guitars and uninteresting names. Essex's Rick Oliver claims Elliott Smith, Ron Sexsmith, Jeff Buckley and Ryan Adams as influences, as do they all. His debut is guitar-driven, singer-songwriter, power-pop stuff that breaks no new ground and is distinguishable only in as much as it represents the genre at its very best. Just when you thought there was no mileage left in the moment where the gently strummed acoustic riff gives way to full electric band bluster, Say Nothing (Part 1) delivers a powerfully emotional sucker punch doing exactly that. This album will become a quietly acclaimed classic.
