Have Harmony, Will Travel is an album by singer and songwriter Carla Olson. It was released by Busted Flat Records on April 30, 2013 and marked Olson's first studio album since her 2001 release The Ring of Truth (in between, she and her band, the Textones, had produced Detroit 85: Live and Unreleased, a live album released in 2008).[1][2]
Carla Olson desire to cut a duet record had been in development for several decades.[1] In an interview with journalist Mike Ragogna she stated:
Olson then rounded up a host of her friends and bandmates as well as some of her favorite singers.[1] Among these were Juice Newton, who duets with Olson in "You Can Come Cryin' to Me", the album's opening track, and "Stringin' Me On". Olson and Peter Case team on the Del Shannon tune "Keep Searchin' (We'll Follow the Sun)" and on Moby Grape's "8:05".[1] Initially, Olson was to have performed "8:05" with her recording partner, Gene Clark, but he died before the recording was made.[3] "She Don't Care About Time", a song written by Clark, was performed with Richie Furay.[1]
