Carey Ott - Ain't No Upside (Livin' On Tha Downside)

This Season's Premier of last summer's smash hit, "Necessary Roughness"on USA Networks returned Wednesday, June 6, 2012 and saw two of Carey's songs play an important role in it's musical landscape. "Ain’t No Upside (Livin’ On Tha Downside)" from his Human Heart CD and "Good News" from his impressive catalogue of approximately 240 compositions - Sample more here.

The Synchronicity between Necessary Roughness and Ott continues. These two placements make for a total of 6.

“Necessary Roughness” has always been a fun and ultimately addicting show. We are pulling for that addiction to continue and that "Necessary Roughness" will have a long, creatively exciting tenure on the tube along with the distinct possibility that Carey's music will continue to be a creative contributor!

For Review - New CD completed

When it came down for Carey Ott to kick off 2012 what better way to make a statement then to record a record! He did and it's complete. Eight days and ten songs that will exemplify that no one person, critic or music fan could ever pigeon hole Carey Ott as a one dimensional creator.

Musicologists will scratch their heads. Music critics will Love and Hate. Ott is an original. Ott is cutting edge. There are no rules. There are no formats. Just when you think you've figured him out, you'll have to figure him out again.

His 2011 release, Human Heart, Human Heart - was a brilliant heart felt - cinematic gem. It garnered Major Network TV placements with " Anyone" [The Gates / Make It Or Break It] - As aforementioned, Necessary Roughness was a good fit for Carey's music with "Wish I Could" - twice, - and the title track "Human Heart" [Necessary Roughness]. And from his catalogue "Everywhere The Wind Blows"

Internationally respected Educator, Critic, Author and Music Connection features writer Dan Kimpel pronounced: " On his 20-song CD Human Heart, Nashville-based singer-songwriter Carey Ott reveals a portfolio of musical touchstones: modern rock, Americana and world grooves. What is consistent are the reflective details of the lyrics, the conversational ease of Ott’s vocal performances and the enchanting melodic possibilities. "

From Human Heart to Muddy Water!

The title song of this soulfully passionate recording reflects Ott's subtlety abstract and realistic look at life. With a big assist from his new found collaborator and co-producer on this album, Nashville based Neilson Hubbard, they have managed to shake up the room and deliver a mesmerizing landscape of music that features choirs and strings woven throughout soulful, passionate, ethereal & gritty pieces of musical art form!

"Red and black - Yellow into silver - Dripping from a canvas like coffee from a cup - Yesterday's trouble is somebody else's now."
