Bio
....Olav Larsen.. was born in Stavanger, a small town on the south-west coast of Norway. His passion for American roots music came at an early age. "My father used to play all kinds of American music for me" says Olav. "On the one hand he would play old records by Hank Williams, Blind Willie McTell, Jimmy Rodgers and Robert Johnson. On the other hand he enjoyed the great songwriters of the new generation, like Bob Dylan, Steve Forbert, Neil Young, John Prine, Guy Clark, Steve Goodman, John Phillips and Townes Van Zandt to mention just a few" he continues. .. ..For Olav it doesn't stop here! Although he still listens to all the "old guys", he also finds inspiration in the likes of Ryan Adams, Bright Eyes, Richmond Fountain, Howe Gelb, Elvis Perkins and many of the other talented singer/songwriters of his own generation. .. ..Discography:.. .. .. .. .. ..Sad & happy sing-a-longs.. .. ..Release Date:..February 04, 2008 .. ..Label:..Rootsy .. ..Length:..48:56 .. ..CLICK HERE MORE INFO!.. .. .. .. ..Love's come to Town.. .. ..Release Date:..August 26, 2006 .. ..Label:..Rootsy .. ..Length:..46:45 .. ..CLICK HERE MORE INFO!.. .. .. .. ..Gospel & drinking Songs ep.. .. ..Release Date:..September 13, 2004 .. ..Label:..Homemade .. ..Length:..14:48 .. ..CLICK HERE MORE INFO!.. .. .. .. ....Add to friends.... ....Send Message.... ..Olav Larsen & ..The Alabama Rodeo Stars.. ...... ..Picture by Torje Fanebust Ås.. ..LATEST NEWS.. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... ..Follow us on TWITTER!.. .. .. ..
