Mark Olson\u2019s career is littered with ups and downs, many associated with his time in seminal Americana band The Jayhawks. His latest venture is with his partner, both in life and music, Norwegian multi-instrumentalist Ingunn Ringvold.
\nHe says it is an \u201calbum that sounds like you are alone in the desert all by yourself\u201d \u2013 apt, as it was recorded there. As ever with Olson\u2019s work there is innocence, melancholy and often beautiful melody, which is accentuated by his partner\u2019s chamber \u201cstring\u201d arrangements on mellotron.
\nIn addition, her harmonies add weight and shade. The songs are reflections on events from the past, happy (Seminole Valley Tea Sipper Society), odd (the title track) or thoughtful (All My Days). The lyrics are profound or profoundly silly \u2013 whatever floats your boat \u2013 but the music carries real charm, albeit it needs time to take root.<\/p>\n
