A guitarist and singer who also played trumpet, O'List's first gig of any note was with The Attack, a psychedelic outfit that grew out of a band called Soul System. His chance meeting with the latter group's Richard Shirman led to O'List's joining the band on lead guitar in 1966. The Attack's line-up was never truly stable, however, and in less than a year O'List was gone, recruited by Andrew Oldham for membership in the Nice, which was to have been a Booker T & the M.G.'s-type backing band for P.P. Arnold. The Nice developed a sound of their own and soon split from Arnold, with O'List handling lead guitar and the vocals on their first single. The guitarist's style and temperament, however, didn't mesh well with that of Keith Emerson, the group's flamboyant keyboard player, who had plans of his own for the Nice's sound, and O'List left after the first album and the recording of a song or two that later turned up on the group's second long-player. He passed briefly through the line-up of the Misunderstood, and intersected with Pink Floyd, just as that band was looking for a successor to Syd Barrett, whose personal instability, due to drug use, was becoming a major problem, but O'List only lasted a few gigs. He next turned up with Roxy Music for one tour, and he subsequently played on Bryan Ferry's Another Time, Another Place LP in 1974  another recording, a single song with O'List, ended up on Let's Stick Together, but by 1975 he'd moved on to a short-live association with the glitter rock cult band Jet. Since then, O'List's name has mostly surfaced on reissues of the various 60's bands with which he recorded, although he did release a solo album, Flight Of The Eagle, in 1997. He remains an elusive and mysterious figure on the British rock scene, some 35 years after he started out. Flight Of The Eagle - AMG EXPERT REVIEW: Davy O'List, 1960s psychedelic guitar legend, waited until 1997 to release his first solo album. The first impression one gets is that the years have been kind to O'List, whose singing is decent and whose guitar playing displays lots of energy. His choice of sounds may prove less appealing, however, at least at the outset of this disc, because O'List seems bent on avoiding his '60s legacy as much as possible, and generates music here closer in spirit to the glitter rock that characterized his output with Jet in the 1970s. "Girls in My Cars" and "Fax" are pieces of '80s-style synth pop and rap music, respectively, that are sure to offend anyone purchasing this CD because of O'List's association with 1960s-style British psychedelia. "Outside Broadcast" does embrace a very '60s-ish psychedelic sound, especially on the guitar, but it's surrounded by very well-played but bland synthesizer-based rock. Strangely enough, one has to wade through those relatively dull opening cuts to get to the real jewels on this disc: the killer "Sealed With a Kiss," which has a great beat, a hot post-progressive rock sound, and hooks that linger in the memory; "You and I," the best cut on the album and one that, amazingly, focuses on O'List's skills on the trumpet, with killer hooks scattered through its length; "Flight of the Eagle," with its psychedelic guitar variations on a riff that sounds a lot like "You Really Got Me"; and the spirited, driving, hook-laden "Pale Pale Girl of the Neat White Uniform," which is a powerful, passionate piece of music and the best guitar showcase of O'List's entire career, also driven by O'List's career-best vocals. Those cuts make this not only a worthwhile purchase, but a keeper.
