FLASHBACK - Doc Oliver
October 25, 2021: Savage Wonder podcast, Episode 6
Note: It’s the holidays, so we’re doing something a little different. For the week between Christmas and New Years, we wanted to flashback and share some of our podcasts from 2021, that, to be perfectly honest, didn’t get as many listens as we believe they deserved. We’re not super bothered about it, we have pretty thick skin. But at this time of year, we wanted to make sure we shined a light on some truly exceptional veteran artists to make sure they’re getting as much attention as we can give them. Enjoy and happy holidays!
Doc Oliver was medically retired as a Navy Corpsman following two back-to-back deployments to Afghanistan. Now he is a singer-songwriter based out of Central Coast California, playing outlaw country music. On August 31, 2021 - the day the US pulled out of Afghanistan - Doc released his first full-length record “Welcome Home.” It was not a coincidence. The album is an autobiographical record about his life pre-, during, and post-Operation Enduring Freedom. The record was engineered by Grammy winner Mark Rains at his studio Station House in Los Angeles, and Mastered by multi Grammy Winner Pete Lyman in Nashville.
