Naturally, there are blues artists in every country. Norway is no exception. The most famous Norwegian exponent of this genre is undoubtedly Bjorn Berge. But Rune Nordvik is making quite a name for himself (internationally) under the name Papaslide. His 3rd album, *The Deepest Pain*, is set to be released this coming March 27.
*The Deepest Pain* is a tribute to his blues hero Johnny Winter, who passed away last year, and consists of 12 songs. Three of these are covers of Winter's songs (*Master Mechanic* / *If You Have A Good Time* / *Serious Heartattack*). But in addition to these three, the album also contains covers of The Dire Straits (*Six Blade Knife*) and Albert Collins (*Give Me My Blues*). The remaining 7 tracks are all written by Rune ‘Papaslide’ Nordvik, either alone or in collaboration with co-writer Fred Ove Reksten, and clearly showcase Johnny Winter's influences. Accompanied by Bjarte Aasmul (guitar), Are Stenfeldt-Nilsen (bass), Geir Åge Johnson (drums), and Lars Hammersland (organ), Nordvik has gathered a few accomplished musicians around him, allowing his slide playing and raw vocal sound to come into their own perfectly and making it a great album to listen to. The only thing that (to me) comes across as somewhat distracting is his pronunciation of English.
