Olivia Wolf - Soul Country #12
Description
Olivia Wolf brings her soulful blend of country, folk, and bluegrass into Soul Country. She plays a few and tells a few about how she put her band and latest release together. In this episode we hear clips of her band live in Nashville and her playing her tunes solo.The funky sounds she attributes to her penchant for Daft Punk textured by 90's household favorites like Lucinda Williams and Tom Waits. Her ear for the psychedelic sounds informs the spiritual journey, or so I'm told. ✌🏻She also previews her version of Crazy Mama, the J.J. Cale staple of Soul Country. ——Olivia Wolf is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter whose soulful blend of country, folk, and bluegrass resonates with raw emotion and authenticity. Raised in Northern California and shaped by the Appalachian sounds of Virginia and Tennessee, her debut album Silver Rounds (January 2025) explores themes of loss, resilience, and spiritual connection. Produced by Sean McConnell, the album reflects her journey through personal tragedy, into a sound that’s both cosmic and grounded. Inspired by outlaw country legends like Townes Van Zandt and modern voices like Gillian Welch, Wolf’s introspective songwriting and evocative storytelling invite listeners into a world where vulnerability meets strength. #oliviawolf #soulcountry #country #americana #thesouth #northerncalifornia #tomwaits #lucindawilliams
