    Valoración: VERY GOOD

From Norway comes an album by singer and harmonica player Stein Stokke Together with his band, The Engine, they form a good greased machinery to manufacture clever and excellent blues in the real orthodox style some North European bands use to perform, also joined by funny lyrics that are the most relevant points of an album that brings an attractive musical experience For those who are not familiar with Stein Stokke, mention he has been into the blues world since the 60’s and he is well known in Norway, not only for his charismatic vocal tone but also for his personal style of blowing harmonica, as well as a musician who includes an instrument like the baritone euphonium in a blues band in some songs His influences come from singers like Tommy Johnson or Howlin’ Wolf, harmonica players like Little Walter or both Sonny Boy Williamson, together with the undeniable feeling of Little Milton or Ruth Brown Besides he also gives an outstanding importance to the monologues and song introductions he does between song and song during his live performances Trond Eliassen on guitar and slide, Rickard Johannesson on bass and Rune Bryn on drums, together with Stein as band leader, form a remarkable combo whose mission is to keep the blues alive in their native Norway
