Didn’t think Denmark had blues roots? Thorbjorn Risager will make you reconsider as he sings and plays guitar with a swagger on this cd/dvd. Teamed with Peter Skjerning/g, Emi Balsgaard/ey, Saren Gijgaard/b, Martin Seidelin/dr and a supporting and snappy horn and vocal backup team, Risager rocks and boogies through a healthy dose of rough and ready material like the rootsy “If You Wanna Dance” and Chicago bluesy “Baby Please Don’t Go.” His voice is gritty and works well on the bluesy “Drowning with bass, keyboards and sax framework, while his fuzzy guitar on the spiritual “On My Way” gives dark hues to the piece. A 50s feel is on the luriking “Through the Tea rs,’ and vintage R&B sizzles on “Let the Good Times Roll.” A danish treat!
