Knut Reiersrud - Ballads And Blues From The 20’s

Music  

- 2020


The album presents five new ballads with new lyrics, two by Reiersrud and two by Jeff Wasserman, and a crazy blues piece with traditional (albeit relevant) lyrics. He worked with his regular band in the studio, with a two-metre distance between each musician: David Wallumrød on keyboards, Bjørn Holm on guitar, Nikolai Hængsle on bass and Andreas Bye on drums. You will also hear vocals by Reiersrud’s family: Tuva Færden and Marit Halvorsen. The 1920s was the start of mass production of recorded music. The music recording industry was a symbol of the optimism and cultural flourishing that pervaded the world well into the decade. The twenties a century later would turn out to be far more problematic.
