Title: One of the best releases of 1999.
Product review: Seattle singer-songwriter Marc Olsen is, quite simply, a collection of the most beautiful songs I have heard in a long time. Compelling, whispery vocals wrap themselves around intelligent lyrics while meandering through dynamic and fluid guitar arrangements. I can't decide whether the sounds he makes with his voice or with his guitar are more beautiful. Suffice it to say, its a pleasure to hear them at work together. There are plenty of beautiful slow songs on Didn't Ever...Hasn't Since but a few of them definitely rock with a reserved intensity that eventually bursts at the seams.Didn't Ever....Hasn't Since is an intimate and intricate album that has the potential to propel Olsen into the national limelight. Who knows how that fickle business called the music industry works. If it worked like it should, Marc Olsen would become a superstar.
