A 'Blood on the Tracks' for the blog generation, the Oxygen Ponies' powerful debut produced by the inimitable Don Piper is rife with wistful melodies, melancholy lyrics and carefully woven- inexplicably uplifting, aspects. Paul Megna, the world-weary singer/songwriter who calls himself the Oxygen Ponies, blends the honesty of Leonard Cohen, the swagger of John Cale and the intimacy of Elliott Smith into his own original soundscape which is as captivating as the story of the artist himself. Megna, a former actor, only picked up a guitar after he suffered a gun shot wound as the victim of a violent crime. The bullet still resides in his neck and reverberates in his songs, which serve as umbrellas in the rain of life's trials and tribulations
