Chanteuse
Country Rock originaire d'Austin (Texas) et basé à Los Angeles (Californie).
Along with
Kathy Valentine (a future member of the Go-Go's), Carla Olson formed the
Textones in the early '80s for a few singles on IRS. (Most of these tracks
appear on Through the Canyon [Rhino] and Back in Time [Demon U.K.].) The band's
major-label debut, Midnight Mission (A&M), included help from Don Henley, Ry
Cooder, Barry Goldberg, and
Gene Clark. Cedar Creek, the band's second album, appeared in 1987 on Enigma
Records. Olson then worked on many projects, including ones by
John Fogerty, Henley, and Eric Johnson and a duet album with
Clark. In 1988, she recorded a self-titled solo album (for Amigo Musik) in
Sweden, backed by Wilmer X. After another duet project, this time with former
Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor, Olson's second solo LP (Within an Ace) was
released in 1993 on Watermelon Records; Reap the Whirlwind followed the next
year. That album signaled a period of relative quiet from the guitarist, as she
disappeared into private life while her best-of collection hit the shelves. It
wasn't until 2001 that she returned, boasting The Ring of Truth, an album
featuring Taylor and a handful of roots rock tunes that showcased her weathered
Vocals and comfortable sound. Olson has also found success on the other side of
the studio glass, producing records for Barry Goldberg, Doña Oxford, Jake
Andrews, Joe Louis Walker, Davis Gaines, Mare Winningham, and Phil Upchurch.
