When you listen to Troy Olsen's music you can hear right away that he's the real thing. He was raised in rural Southern Arizona, got his first guitar when he was twelve and taught himself to play by listening to everything from Dwight Yoakam to Bruce Springsteen. As a teenager, Troy started playing in bands and has been playing music ever since. Troy's music has taken him all over the world, but you can hear the smokey roots in his voice and songs come from a million nights in the road houses of the Southwest.........
A chance meeting with Linda Ronstadt in a recording studio in 1998 led to a publishing deal with Windswept Music in Los Angeles.
In 2001, Troy made his first album in Los Angeles with members of Dwight Yoakam's band, including some legendary players like Scott Joss, Skip Edwards, Jay Dee Manness, and James Intveld. His album got great reviews in magazines such as Country Music Magazine.
In 2003, after moving to Nashville, he released another independent album, titled Troy Olsen which he recorded in Nashville at Blackbird Studios. The album really showcased his growth as a singer and songwriter and includes a duet with Kid Rock.
With a touring schedule that found him doing countless dates and opening for almost every major country star over the last ten years, both of Troy's independent albums sold incredibly well. These days Troy spends all his time in his Nashville studio writing songs and further developing his unique sound. His songs continue to gain attention and have been recorded by country music superstars Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, and Chris Cagle. With a major label record deal in his sights, the future looks bright for this hard working Arizona boy.................
When we begin to understand that no person is so important that he or she can hurt us or make us angry without our consent, in that moment we begin to truly take responsibility for our lives. When we begin to understand that no person is so unimportant that our love should not be freely given, in that moment, we begin to take responsibility for our world.
May you always be slow to anger and quick to love.
May you always be aware that you are loved and cherished.
Thank you for blessing my life with the gift of your friendship.
I got the 1st album today. It's a damn good record. My favorites are "Living In Your World", "The Hank Song" and "Stronger Than The Wine". You are right. You've come a long way since recording this album, but this was a hell of a place to start.
