Media reviews

"I confess that I did not want to admire this book quite this much. Something inside of me was resisting the lessons. But that changed as each chapter flowed by. There is warmth and humanity behind Oland’s words ... Pamela Oland’s 'The Art of Writing Great Lyrics' is not only an excellent resource for songwriters, it is uplifting about life."
-- John Scott G, Music Industry News Wire
