Blink Of An Eye is a tribute and a gentle declaration of love for the present and life - sung and played with the nerve you only find in "well seasoned" musicians - who rest completely in themselves and the music. With music / lyrics by Morten Wittrock and Marcus Wither John - which are flanked by masterful musicians, among others. Bob Britt (Bob Dylan and John Fogerty) the Danish duo has never sounded more elegant or international than on this album.

Jes Holtsø's vocals and its dynamics come into their own throughout the album - and you can sense why his sound and timing have captivated both Danish and foreign listeners for more than a decade. Connoisseurs will be able to find an echo of the genre's masters like Peter Thorup and Joe Cocker on the new album.

Bio:
It's original music and the style is blues, rock and soul. With an infectious musical love, enthusiasm and a sparkling unique voice that reaches beyond the stage edge, Jes Holtsø is well helped along the way by Morten Wittrock, who with a unique creativity and extroversion knows how to give even the most experienced listener new material for the ear canal.

Together, Jes Holtsø and conductor Morten Wittrock stand for an inspiring, present and captivating musicality that brings to mind the best in blues, rock and soul, which makes everyone forget both time and space. It's a constellation to be experienced - and it's music you can feel.

Jes Holtsø has long since written himself into the Danish film hearts. With long hair, a middle parting and round glasses, he always stood ready in the role of Børge when the Olsen Band's subtle plans required an extra hand. In the same way as he a few years later laid face to face mover Olsen's son William in the House at Christianshavn. Now he's back. The charm has not diminished over the years and with a twinkle in the eye and heart in the right place, he is ready to deliver a solid repertoire of blues, rock and soul. And has been nominated for a Danish Music Awards several times. And in 2012 was named the Danish blues of the year.

It 'Det' Altid Nu!' is the partner of Jes Holtsø and Morten Wittrock's fourth joint album. An album that once again clarifies that the two routine forces begin writing, singing and playing original, Danish-language blues rock of the simple kind. The two do not go after refinements and probably do not master them - neither technical nor artistic - but that's also alright. Because the two go for authenticity - I think - and at least it is evident in this fourth album, whereupon the listener once again gets acquainted with a living life, bump on the road and a credible blue tone. The best, most well-developed song on the new album is Blue weekend - a song that swings, curls and shines despite the prediction that a blue weekend stands for the door. Otherwise, my experience of the album as a whole is that the absence of sophistication is a problem. For either, the gravity of the lyrics, the compositions of your compositions, the sophistication of the art or the artistic effort must be high-the simple can be beautiful if it is framed by something of this - but that's not the case here. ~Ivan Rod
