Before embarking on his critically-acclaimed solo career, singer Mark Olson was a founding member of The Jayhawks. Since splitting with them in 1995, he has maintained a reputation as one of the most respected singer/songwriters on the folk country scene. Mark joined us in the studio today to talk about being the subject of a new documentary, dealing with lame bar crowds at shows, and his recent album, Salvation Blues. Here's a performance of "National Express" from that record.

i have really intrested this programe it's knowledged programm thank you for this show.
Thank You Well Done, Great to see and hear an artist do what they do... an so well.
Thanks so much for this interview, I've seen the tour and Mark is as friendly to anyone who wishes to talk to him after the shows as he was here. Next year's reunion with Gary Louris is apt to be another step forward.
