Here come two excellent albums that introduce us to one of the most charismatic Swedish actual musicians Thorbjorn is a real bundle of energy who gives a good dose of passion and love for Afroamerican roots music he gives us with a tasteful skill Risager is a charismatic clever singer, guitar player and songwriter who radiates a warm energy and a real love for the whole work he is doing His style includes Chicago and New Orleans blues, soul/blues, funky, ballads and blues/rock, designed under well defined and firmly drawn patterns, perfectly understood by all band members You will find Thornjorn Risager himself on vocals and guitar, Emil Balsgaard on piano and organ, Svein Erik Martinsen on guitar, Kasper Wagner on sax, Peter Kohl on trumpet, Soren Bojgaard on bass, Martin Seldelin on drums and the backing vocals of Miss Lea Thorlann and Miss Pia Trojgaard All them form a good teamed straight band but, over all, a well matched group of friends and fellows The result is totally amazing, including a variety of songs, very selective and full of different nuances in both cds Live At Victoria and Track Record The songs list is ninety per cent Risager own compositions The rest are two songs coming from drummer Martin and a cover of a Big Joe Williams tune In short words, two albums that ooze swing, groove, twist and tons of joy Personally speaking I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of every musician that I am sure will deeply impress you too
