"The SURPRISE has arrived.... WOW Smilestir- OD Rivero, I'm real impressed.... What A Voice..."
"Throaty vocals. Fluid guitar. Deep, deep outlook on things. Very cool combo... def Santana-esque guitar, but bluesey."
"Your stuff needs to be heard! Your music is some of the best online or anywhere!"
"Very unique sounding lead work. Give a listen, some nice fast burning note playing."
"Cuban-born, Georgia-based guitarist tackles a range of styles, from Celtic Folk to Blues Rock to desert-tinged heavy metal... his acoustic work has a very natural feel to it."
"I took a listen tonight to 'Heartless Words'. Real and Raw is right!!! I commend you on the guitar work and lyrical content. I'm a big SRV & Hendrix fan but can't play a lick like that. Good work!"
"Stunning Blues/Rock song with vocals,
Masterful, melodic and will carry you 'out there'.. "
"Hot dam, O.D. well done. Full-throttle is right on!! Great guitar licks."
"This is just one fine example of the many facets of a really talented guitar player from Atlanta, GA. O.D. covers a wide range of styles from blues, through rock and rockabilly to some really nice acoustic material... check O.D.'s other offerings to round out your appreciation of this fine musician."
"Your guitar style is smooth, skilled, and intense. I've had the pleasure of seeing you perform live - your joy in your gift of music comes through loud and clear!"
These are typical comments when describing O.D.'s intense and passionate style of guitar playing. Whatever the mood of the music calls for, his combination of technical ability, intense emotion, and dramatic phrasing create a unique and compelling musical statement.
"Whereas I will spend a lot of time on song structure, I try never to think through my soloing much. In fact, I usually won't do more than a couple of takes of any solo. I look at solos as making love. You never do it quite the same way twice. So its important to capture all the passion and emotion you can, even if you make mistakes along the way."
