You know it’s bad enough for you when you get a knock on the door or a call from a bill collector or the police but it’s even worse when it’s because you’ve done Carla Olson wrong. Especially when she has Tall Poppy Syndrome backing her up.
On the
brand-new collaboration “Is It True?” (Tres Melo Musique/Carla Olson Productions) Olson joins the TPS to give a fresh coat
of rock and roll paint to a Brenda Lee classic from 1964. Tall Poppy Syndrome
adds some fuzz to the guitars to add a sense of menace to Olson’s take-no-prisoners
vocal and backing vocals from the TPS lads bring a real 60s sound to the mix.
Olson means business and makes it clearer than Brenda did that you better not
have been missing around.
