rich's live show is awesome and he sounds nothing like jack ingram. I'm gonna go ahead and say...you couldn't be more wrong.
Sounds like a wannabe Jack Ingram. He doesn't sound like anything different than a "I Like Texas" artist. His live performances are disappointing.
He's alright, don't see what the big deal is about him. Guess he's kissing up to the right people to be getting the shows he gets.

When you going to head up to Denver and play????
OK...I know there are many aggie jokes about them being dumb and all. But does that guy really think Rich Otoole is from Big and Rich? Maybe the jokes are right.
hell i liked it alright. pretty solid debut, and 'queen of the misfits' is catchy as hell
Good start, although I was expecting a little bit more. I will miss the duo days of Big and Rich, but I understand that carreers evolve. Best of luck to Rich in the future!
Don't know who ML is but he must be deaf. Seventeen is a great record with great songs and we have reviewed it and cover Rich and his band in Texas Music Times. This record is even building demand in Europe where one fan from England wrote me an email and said it was a "Cracker". That means good over there. So, those who have great taste are catching on to Rich O'toole and getting out to see his band and buying the record. The live performance is even better.

This may be the best album of 2006. It's hard to say, because my tastes change from day to day, but it's certainly in the top five. It's probably too soon to apply the "genius" label to young Mr. O'Toole, but his songwriting is engaging and relevant, his vocal style is captivating, and Mack Damon's production showcases Rich's natural talent. Songs like "Everything's Legal," "Kelly Comes To Town," and "Robert E. Lee" help make this is one great record -- I can't wait for the next one!
