COME ON IN

Description

This is the 10th album for this Danish guitarist and singer, and his 7th studio album. A leading figure in contemporary European blues, Thorbjørn Risager offers rhythm'n'blues infused with soul, spiced up with first-rate blues and jazz. Globally present from India to Canada, he regularly plays the finest European venues: over 1000 concerts in twenty-one countries, 200 festivals, two British Blues Awards nominations, and two Danish Music Awards. The Copenhagen band could practically have rested on its laurels and on its previous, excellent album "Too Many Roads" as well as its latest album of the same caliber, "Change My Game," but they haven't, and he returns once more, supported by The Black Tornado. Powerful songs and tender songs, masterful guitar feeling and intelligently brass-infused gems, a blues that knows how to be both traditional and modern, electric then acoustic – this is all that Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado deliver to us in a beautiful way, transcending the boundaries of blues while respecting the genre's heritage. This feat is possible thanks to a lineup unchanged since its inception, a kind of achievement given that there are no fewer than eight musicians on stage! Thorbjørn Risager is undeniably one of the best artists of his generation, the great European revelation of recent years. If you are around, or further afield, do not miss him. His appearances in France are very rare!
