Troy Olsen, whose debut nationally released single "Summer Thing" is climbing the country charts, has been getting some buzz in the blogosphere.
"I don't often get this excited when I hear an artist for the first time. But was really very impressed with this kid, and I'm hoping it won't be long before we're hearing him on our local country radio station."

"This is the first song I've ever heard from Troy Olsen, and I'm looking forward to hearing some more songs from this talented new artist."

"Olsen's voice is calm and friendly, but at times it just feels a little too relaxed. Compared to the laid-back but still lively 'Toes' or the sultry and sexy 'Groovy Little Summer Song,' it isn't quite as good, but it still has enough going for it."

"What I like about the Olsen version (of 'Ghost Town Train') is that I don't hear Tim McGraw, I just hear the song. ... I have no preconceived notions about Olsen, so I'm listening today more to the steel guitar and the lyrics about two taillights disappearing in the night, and how Olsen wants to flip a switch so she will love him like she loved him yesterday."

"In this era of synthesized sounds and global urbanization of music, Troy Olsen is the rare exception - an exceptionally talented country musician who has every right to wear a cowboy hat."
