Looking for an epic blues album at the crossroads of tradition and innovation? Look no further than Krissy Matthews and his new album Rock'n'Roll Soldier. With his adventurous attitude, the British-Norwegian singer and guitarist breathes new fire into song structures sourced from the blues, R&B, and rock 'n' roll. And he's not alone: A host of international guests including Tommy Castro (US), Will Wilde (UK) DeWolf’s Pablo van de Poel (NL), Hans Theessink (AU/NL), Ida Maria (NO), Tora Daa (NO) and more join the members of his Norwegian trio The Vikings feat. Trond Hansen on Bass and Kare Amundsen on Drums. The result is a recording brimming with team spirit and a palpable live feeling. "We had a very small window to write and record this album," says Matthews. "So we tracked most of it live together in a small room. It was a loose, fun and free session where everyone could come in and experiment and express themselves with no judgement." Indeed: From the frantic title track to the bewitching "Fell In Love With A Girl" to the instrumental adventures of "Tore Hund" and an inventive spin on the iconic "44 Blues," Rock'n'Roll Soldier is a wild and thoroughly entertaining ride.
