With 2 albums and an ep consisting of a couple years worth of work put on hold by the producer and label and a summer tour freshly canceled late last March, I set to creating a new batch of songs reflecting the mood of the moment and my reaction to it all from the political to the cosmic to the personal. It kept me sane, helped me grow and gave me a reason to keep going. I hope it helps you somehow to. Please enjoy!
This album is a collection of spontaneous compositions performed by Jerry Oliver on solo guitar and recorded on the iPhone voice memos app in various locations on the road and at home between the years 2013 and 2017. They were recorded in hotel rooms, rest stops, dressing rooms, a hospital and various places where the chairs creak and ambient noise joins in the arrangement, but it is an overall chill and relaxing vibe that I hope adds to your musical experience and enjoyment. They were all a type of meditation for me. Thanks for listening!

This tune doesn't need much explanation. A large portion of the country has spent the last several years duped by a lying, evil motherfucker but some of us have had enough of these zombies and have voted and are kicking the Trumpster out, firing his ass and now can get back to fighting the establishment politicians for equality and justice for all! And rock out while we're at it!
This track was written as a zen response to the absurdity that is Donald Trump and the wall of fear and hate that he is ultimately trapped by.
Here is a sneak peek at the upcoming full band version of The Birdwatcher Experiment project coming in 2021!

Hey friends! Here is the official video for our brand new song, I Just Want To Play. We hope you enjoy this exclusive stripped down version! A full band version on our new ep is coming early this summer!
This track was recorded at Back Of The Head Studios in Royal, Arkansas on November 25th 2018 with production, mixing and mastering courtesy of The Head.
I've been writing a bunch of new tunes over the last couple years and started demoing some of them about a year ago at Back Of The Head Studios in Royal, Arkansas. Now we're starting to flesh some of them out and have started recording more fresh tracks at Eastwood Studios in Nashville. It feels like a new official album is in the works but in the meantime we'll be releasing some of the Arkansas tracks and some stripped down demo versions as part of a new series called The Buddha Tree Singles. As a Bandcamp fan club member you'll be among the first to hear any of this stuff. So please enjoy this first release...I'm Sure It Wouldn't Do.
This track was written in honor of our friend and teacher the late great Nashville underground rock god Dave Cloud. Dave loved my cannabis one hitter, especially during his final days and christened it "The Jet Engine." Please enjoy.
This is the second in a two album collection of original songs recorded in three sessions in 2014 and 2015.
These performances were recorded totally solo in one take. Jerry O just the way you get him live. No overdubs, doubled vocals or editing tricks. Just a good room, nice mics and a talented engineer to capture Jerry, his guitar and a few pedals while he paints these stories of heritage, loss, inspiration and the big question of existence.
