Frimer Band, from Århus in Denmark, made their debute in 1991 with the live recording "Blues Uncovered" followed by "Handmade" in 1995 and "Sheltered Roads" in 1997. Excellent produced by Ole Frimer, "Sheltered Roads" appears as a sonic enjoyment. The third edition of Frimer Band presents themselves as an extremely well-playing unit with Ole Frimer's Albert Collins inspired guitar playing and soul-charged vocals as the center, solid held together by the veteran bass player Jørgen Nielsen.
Stylistically there has been a slight change from the previous releases, and for those ecxpecting a pure blues album this release may disappoint. However, the music grows upon closer acquaintance. Here are Latin-inspired numbers like "Wanted You To Stay", and the band is also flirting with jazz in "Blueazz". The foundation, however, is still the blues idiom which Frimer Band master like few other related orchestras in Danmark. There are some fine instrumental performances throughout the ten tracks on the album, and especially Ole Frimer and the tenor saxophonist Niels Mathiasen shine with inspired solos.
