Editorial Review

Mark Jenkins wrote about Oakley Hall in September 2006 for The Washington Post:

Oakley Hall is not the first band to wonder what the Velvet Underground would have sounded like had Lou Reed grown up in a barn (see, for example, the Silos). This New York sextet features fiddle, banjo, steel guitar and two twangy female voices, yet its new "Gypsum Strings" is guided by the star of the Velvets' "Sister Ray." The interplay of Rachel Cox and Pat Sullivan's vocals highlight the low-noise "Living in Sin in the U.S.A.," but even the gentler songs are lashed by Sullivan's Reed-inspired guitar, and standouts such as "Confidence Man" demand comparison with the Velvets' surging classics. It's a comparison that doesn't favor Oakley Hall, of course, but the group's energy is primal even if its style is secondhand.
