evan olson- one room.......2005-05-17

first let me say i have the respect for evan in that he is one heck of a musician. that being said, he is not much of a songwriter. the songs bounce in between weak and downright silly. Horrible lyrics about "one night flings" and "g strings" make this album unlistenable. it sounds great but there is no substance behind the music. great for teenage girls who don't require depth from their tunes.

Bubbly Pop.......2002-10-26

With Evan's 2002 release of "Red" jamming my changer, I thought it'd be a great time to take a look back at this pop gem. "So Much Better" opens with throbbing rhythm guitar and a zombie-like vocal and slashing electric lead to make this a thoroughly addictive track. "A Million Things" has a commercial pop melody on this midtempo track. "We know nothing lasts forever," Evan laments on the joyful, "Falling." The cover of America's "Tin Man" fits like a glove with Evan not straying too far from the original arrangement. "All I want is just to be in you," Evan sings getting to the point on "Deep In You." "Timing" has a great funky beat with a pretty melody that would have been comfortable on the Bus Stop CDs. A woman's voice calls out, "Evan are you sleeping?" on "Manhattan" that sounds like the soundtrack for a fast-paced dream. "Easy to Leave" shimmies with more rhythm than melody. "One Day" is a happy love song that'll have you slappin' your thigh. "There's a fire in my soul I can hardly control all I know is what's got to be," Olson croons on the pulsing "What's Got to Be." "Don't Break My Fall" has chiming guitars like the Byrds or Tom Petty. The CD concludes with "One Room" that is bright joyful pop. U snooze U lose with this release! Don't miss it.

Evan-Only Getting Better.......2002-04-20

I remember when Evan was singing for Bus Stop back in '93. That's when I began digging his poppy/soulful sound. I've followed his progress since then & "One Room" is a great collection of his ecclectic groove. Evan is Greensboro, NC's true pop-star poet. If you dig happy, groovy, fun music, this album is for you!

Refreshing Music.......2000-10-14

Excellent debut effort from Evan Olson. A rare find these days, in terms of musical ability vs. image. Evan wrote, produced and played all instruments on "One Room".... If you are into positive, uplifting pop-rock, this one's for you. Standout tracks include "Falling", "So Much Better", "Don't Break My Fall" and "A Million Things". The future looks bright for Evan Olson.
