Even Norwegians get the blues. On “Tears Of The World,” guitarist Knut Reiersrud and his band find themselves in the company of the 72-year old vocalist Mighty Sam McClain, originally from Louisiana. Together, they have dedicated themselves to the music of the deep south and have given impressive proof that, when it comes to playing hard-driven R&B, soul or blues, it's not where you come from that's important.

On June 16, 2015 Mighty Sam McClain died. „Tears Of The World“ is his last album and will remain as his legacy. The Blues- & Soulworld lost an outstanding artist.

Here is a small curiosity from a bygone era. R & B Express's first album from 1988 with many cool guests. The band consisted of Jostein Forsberg (vocals, harmonica), Espen Fjelle (organ, piano), Arild Reinertsen (bass) and Tor Arve Stenersen (drums). Morten Omlid was the band's guitarist, but the wife had the term while going to San Francisco to make a plate, so the guys invited Knut Reiersrud instead.

Knut Reiersrud - Sweet Showers Of Rain

Year: 2001
Bitrate: MP3@320K/s

9. Epitaph (6:10)
10. The Old Man Still Sings (5:15)

Once again, his record company gave him carte blanche - and once again Knut comes through with yet another epic. More aggressive musically and lyrically than earlier albums - Reiersrud is found playing on various guitars, sitar, piano, blues harp, bass alongside longtime friends Iver Kleive and Christian Wallumrød (keyboards), Paolo Vinaccia and Anders Engen (drums and percussion) and Auden Erlien (bass). Once again he and Reidar Skår romp in the playground of sampling and loops. The result is perhaps the strongest musical signature Reiersud has signed to date!

Svensk-norsk blueskvartett med stor popularitet i Norge tidlig på 1980-tallet, lenge før blues ble allemannseie her i landet. Gitaristen Knut Reiersrud hadde tidligere spilt i Hartvik & The Heartbreakers, og utgitt en EP med dem. Sven Zetterberg sang og spilte munnspill, Carsten Loly sang og spilte trommer, mens Bertil Petterson spilte bass. Denne kvartetten spilte inn bandets eneste album, Rooster Blues (1983). Bandet hadde tydeligvis et bassproblem etter hvert, for i juni 1982 begynte Jan Erik Salater som bassist, men bandet hadde allikevel Jørun Bøgeberg som bass-vikar i ny og ne.

Etter hvert ble Torbjørn Sunde med på trombone og Sigurd Køhn på saksofon. Bandet ble oppløst på midten av 80-tallet, men nesten alle norske musikerne som er nevnt her, med unntak av Salater, var deretter med i bandet Heavy Gentlemen, som ofte var å se og høre på fjernsyn, men som ikke utga plater.

I first heard the Blues in the spring of 1973 when I was 12 years old and under the constant influence of my elder brother Gunnar's keen interest in jazz. Together, we recorded jazz shows from the Norwegian State Radio (NRK) on our sister's mono cassette deck that she'd received as a confirmation gift, and thanks to my brother and I - she never saw again! For that I owe an eternal debt of gratitude to my sister Tone who actually was the rightful owner of my first audio hardware. Music was something that has touched me as long as I can remember. Of course, I liked a lot of normal kid stuff, and I loved fishing, but music was my #1 love. I remember tricking my parents - staying awake until 11pm to record "Jazzklubben" on the Norwegian Broadcasting; Miles Davis; Michal Urbaniak and John McLaughlin were among names that hit my uppermost bodypart. Jazz was exciting and groovy, but I didn't grasp the concept 100 %.

By 1973, radio receivers were getting sophisticated enough to locate Swedish radio programs and by accident one fateful Wednesday evening, I turned on our Tandberg stereo during 'Aftonblues' (Blues After Hours), a half hour blues show on Sweden's channel 3. I was totally blown away by the music, and together with Gunnar, I started a 4 year tradition - recording all 'Aftonblues' and 'Mera Blues' radio shows (which alternated every second week)! Blues became my music; the same kind of energy that I felt listening to jazz music, but simpler, sweeter and to my ears, far more poetic. At 12 years of age I became a complete and total fan of the blues - blues was pain and relief, it expressed both the lamb on the sacrificial table as well as the downward motion of the sacrificial knife. It was fiery, passionate music, dark red and bloody – in short: to me blues was "life" and so, barely out of my childhood years of innocence, I was already determined to live my life steeped in the blues!

The songs you hear on this album were among the very first songs I learned. Most of them I were either introduced to me by 'Afton Blues' or 'Mera Blues', and a couple I learned from my guitar teacher Joe Vey. Some are, in my opinion, among the best blues ever recorded. Of course I did play a few George Harrison and David Bowie tunes, who were immensely popular at that time, but blues was my main focus – and to my ears, pre-war blues were the cream of the crop. This album contains 12 songs from my 1973 late night radio rambles – plus one bonus track: “Blinded By Love”, learned from Dr. John while touring with him 10 years later.

Nappy Brown & Knut Reiersrud - Roots Of Scandinavian Blues

NAPPY BROWN (1929-2008) made an indelible impression on Black Music. Both as an artist and as a person. His many hit recordings and performances on endless tours in the mid 50's established Nappy as a major force. More than any others, Nappy Brown, Ray Charles and groups such as the "5" Royales and James Brown's Famous Flames affected the future of Black Music.His sudden disappearance from the limelight, like that of Johnny Ace, Little Willie John or Little Richard, enhanced the mystery surrounding him.

In the early 1980s, a renewed interest in R&B led to some of Brown's early songs being released on European albums. Brown returned to the music business, beginning with a successful tour of Scandinavia in 1983. During this tour, together with blues guitarist KNUT REIERSRUD, this album was recorded.

In his later years, Nappy Brown received several awards, and his contribution as one of the key figures in the R&B, as well as being a main influence of the soul music, was widely recognized. At the ceremony for the Blues Music Award in May 2008, Nappy Brown gave one last electrifying performance, capping an incredible comeback year. ~Jon Larsen

Knut Reiersrud - 2 albums: Voodoo Without Killing Chicken / Pretty Ugly

Album: Voodoo Without Killing Chicken
Bitrate: MP3@320K/s
Time: 49:09
Size: 112.5 MB
Styles: Electric blues
Year: 2008

[4:57] 8. Bad News
[4:10] 9. Jordans Water
[4:33] 10. Keep Her From Going To You
[2:46] 11. Five Little Chickens

The music was recorded at Øystein Greni's charming and legendary studio Grand Sport Studio in Oslo, with analogue maestro Christian Engfelt (Cato Salsa Experience, Lionheart Brothers, Serena Maneesh etc.) at the controls.

The title of this album came to Reiersrud when he was touring Europe with Dr John in 1984. The good doctor's drummer Kieran O'Connor had auditioned for Van Morrison, but returned unhappy, calling the style Voodoo Without Killing Chicken. While he disagreed with the reasoning, the young Reiersrud liked the phrasing, and decided that if he ever made an album with New Orleans and soul references, this would be his title. This album, released on CD and vinyl, features 11 songs, all bearing Reiersrud's distinctive signature, with 6½ of the lyrics penned by Jeff Wasserman. The band is a chapter unto itself - young with loads of experience from well-known Norwegian rock and jazz bands. After accompanying Ann Peebles two and a half years ago at Rockefeller in Oslo, they have played with Reiersrud on a regular basis.

Bjørn Holm has performed with Knut Reiersrud for the last eight years, and as a singer, guitarist and bass player at Knut's concerts. David Wallumrød also performs with Lester and Jarle Bernhoft, and there is no one today who can coax more exciting sounds from a B3 organ on Norwegian records. Nikolai Hængsle Eilertsen used to be the bass player in Big Bang and also performs with Lester, Elephant9 and National Bank. Andreas Bye took over the drums in Bugge Wesseltoft after Anders Engen, played in Sigurd Køhn's band. Rune Arnesen, who has been in and out of Reiersrud's projects for 20 years, performs with Dhaffer Yossef, and has been in Nils Petter Molvær's various bands. Lars Horntveth, who wrote the wind arrangements, is a multi-instrumentalist from Jaga Jazzist and National Bank, though here he keeps to the sax and bass clarinet. Mathias Eick is a trumpeter with his own solo career, regularly performing with drummer Manu Katchè.

This music speaks for itself, but we can unabashedly boast of the warm sound from the Grand Sport Studio and the live feeling, particularly these days when most music is edited - digitally cut and pasted. Here the studio lamp goes red, one, two, three, four and here we go straight on to 24-track tape. And let's face it, Reiersrud has never written better tunes than this!

“With his new release Knut Reiersrud has finally done what his many fans have been eagerly waiting for ;- he has made a bona fide 100% blues record. So now he has made "Pretty Ugly". He's done it all himself, literally, right from the bottom up. He's his own rhythm section, his own pianist, rhythm guitarist, solo guitarist, harmonica player and singer. Why? When I asked him, he chuckled and said something about wanting to create a musical expression that would be totally representative of him. On "Pretty Ugly" Knut Reiersrud is closer to his musical roots, blues, than he has been in a very long time. Over time, like a number of other masters of their trade, he found he needed to explore new frontiers and expand his horizons”. ~Knut Borge

In 1974 Norwegian electronics manufacturer Tandberg developed technology enabling sound-on-sound reel recording, this allowed any number of tracks to be recorded on top of previous tracks, which was a godsend for young Reiersrud. Many hours of delivering newspapers and selling hotdogs at the local horse racetrack earned him the money to buy such a machine. Having grown up in a family that had spent three years on Cuba, and having a father with classical piano aspirations, Knut's home was a virtual paradise of more or less exotic musical instruments. No wonder Knut came to develop and refine the idea of creating his very own band by multi-tacking his own playing. His new record, Pretty Ugly, in principle builds on the same concept. A while back, Knut's old friend and collaboration partner of many years, H. P. Gundersen, persuaded Knut to find a musical expression focusing exclusively on his own musical ideas. Reiersrud's roots were always the blues, and on this record you will find his interpretations of some of the songs he grew up with, and some new songs based on the black musical tradition.

Knut Reiersrud plays all of the instruments on this album.

Notes: CHICAGO BLUES MEETING: It was started in 1983 when a group of Scandinavian musicians went to Chicago. The plan was to work there, play with American musicians and have recorded a record with American musicians. Before departure was made agreements with the legendary Chess studios, studio where Muddy Waters, Howlin 'Wolf, Chuck Berry and others had made their recordings.
                    Several of Chicago's leading musicians were contacted with a request for participation in the recording, including "The Grand Old Man of Chicago," 80-year-old Sunnyland Slim on piano and vocals. SunnyLand was the man who was responsible for the launch of Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry, and he had a long solo career. A career actually dates back to the 20's. Otherwise, the team found the former drummer for Muddy, S.P. Leary and Bob Stroger (ex. Otis Rush) played the bass. 

This session'en brought for "Blues Meeting In Chicago".
Album was released by Strawberry Records on 1983, received very good reviews when it came out, both at home and abroad. 
The Scandinavian tribe on the recording in Chicago consisted of Knut Reiersrud, Sven Zetterberg, John Magnar "Hungry John" Bernes and Tor Einar "Daumann" Jacobsen.                                             
The stay was very successful and the American musicians were invited on the next year, to Norway and Scandinavia, for a month long tour. The crew was the same as in Chicago, with the exception of drum space. Here was Buddy Guy's right hand, Ray "Killer" Allison, over all.

Also, the tour went very well, and LP # 2 was recorded. It was LP "Chicago Blues Meeting" 1984 of Strawberry Records with Knut Reiersrud. This time in Norway and international press lavished recording with superlatives.      
             
LP # 3, "Snake In My Bedroom" with the same lineup as the previous one, published in the famous British company Red Lightning and distributed worldwide. To released have two added bonus track.    
German Cross Cut records described the disc as the best blues LP ever released in Europe.(sic!!!)
The time has passed and the Chicago Blues Meeting has been resurrected with new members. Repertoire alternates between blues and soul, and with Darryl McDade as vocalist band is right up there in the top league of the current Scandinavian blues. The band poses in Vanse Saturday with eight crew. So here it is cramped for space both on stage and in the concert hall. The musicians are with now besides vocalist McDade, Tor Einar "Daumann" Jacobsen (guitar), Bruce Rasmussen (drums), Wallen Mjaland (bass) and Vidar Bo (piano). In addition, they brought their own horn section called The Fat Back Horn's. This consists of Tore Brathen, Havard putty box.
And now we have ripp of full tracks from Red Lightning-0073 (1988) titled "Snake In My Bedroom" and from "Chicago Blues Meeting" from Strawbery LP on 1984. But you must know - this is not my choice of ripp from this two vinyl's.
This is great example of colaborating by scandinavian musicians with chicago blues legends and this is GREAT MUSIC!
A little precision information will be warmly welcome :-)


This post I dedicated to our close friend of Scandinavian blues, one and only - MrWalker - Thank you Man!
