Mark Olson & Ingunn Ringvold CD - Desert Health Farm

Mark Olson's newest album. As played on RTE & BBC Radio.

Old memories swirling in the warm afterglow provided Jayhawks founder Mark Olson and his wife, Norwegian singer/multi-instrumentalist Ingunn Ringvold, with the inspiration for the set of intriguing, imagistic songs that lovingly fill their latest outing, Desert Health Farm Sacred Songs.

The album’s eleven tracks draw upon the couple’s recent adventures together and their earlier adventures apart as well as tapping into, and stretching out, their own individual musical influences. While continuing along the Americana-cobbled roads they took on their first three albums, Olson and Ringvold explore lesser travelled musical territories on this release. Without exactly knowing where they were going, the two were emboldened by each other’s company and unafraid to push forward
