Some of us have to wait until release date to even try to hear it.  I know that 
Townes was a big influence of Olney's and that Van Zandt thought highly
of Olney's songwriting too, so it would not surprise me at all to hear some
similarities.  I think the general release date on the new Olney is later this
month.
