Best Of Thorbjorn Risager And The Black Tornado

Description

The first volume spans from 2004 to 2012 and captures the excitement of the beginning, when Risager and his original band Blue 7 gave a new twist to 50s New Orleans R&B.
The band rocked the downtown clubs of Copenhagen and won the coveted title of "Artist of the Year" at the Blues Festival in their hometown in 2005. On this first volume, you will find the best songs from the groundbreaking albums of that era. Like the studio debut that saw Risager hailed as "the next big name in blues" by the respected American publication BluesWax, From The Heart from 2006 is represented by the authentic and enchanting porch blues of "Ain't Ever Gonna Leave No More".
Praised by the same magazine – which lauded a voice that "makes you listen… part Ray Charles, part Bob Seger, part Joe Cocker" – the 2007 follow-up, Here I Am, built on his reputation, with bruises from soul gems like "Heart of The Night" showcasing the Danish bluesman's ability to paint music in all colors.
From the 2010 Track Record, there is the track "Rock 'N' Roll Ride" and the sparkling "Stand Beside Me" with a country flavor. And for fans who know the band as a full-throttle live act since the release of their first cult album, Live 2004, you will find excerpts from Live At Victoria from 2009: the brass groove of "You Better Pay Attention" and a fiery rendition of "Burning Up" living up to the title. Finally, as an album that concluded the early career of Risager, Dust & Scratches from 2012 is here celebrated by the virtuosic and acoustic optimism of "In The Back Of My Mind".
