The Salvation Blues is the debut solo album by singer/songwriter Mark Olson, released in 2007.
Olson's 10-year marriage to Victoria Williams had ended in divorce and he subsequently suffered from depression. He wrote the songs for the album while recovering in Cardiff, Wales. He recorded demos in Wales, Norway, Poland and Minnesota as well.[1][2] Olson and the making of the album were the subject of a half-hour documentary, The Salvation Blues, released by Grain Pictures.[3]
