Denemarken lijkt misschien niet de logische broedplaats voor een bluesband, maar zeg dat maar eens tegen Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado! Oprichter Risager groeide op met twee muziekleraren als ouders; het was raar geweest als hij zelf níet meerdere instrumenten had opgepakt. Hij ontdekte als late tiener de muziek van B.B. King en Ray Charles en zong al tijden de blues toen hij werd aangenomen op het conservatorium in Kopenhagen.

De Deense band Thorbjørn Risager & the Black Tornado is al zo´n twintig jaar actief en dat is op hun achtste album ‘Navigation Blues’ goed te horen. Deze band uit Jyllinge speelt namelijk een soort roots-rock waar de ervaring vanaf spat.

Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado  "Navigation Blues"

De belangrijkste roots-rockers van Denemarken, Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado, hebben een officiële videoclip uitgebracht voor "Navigation Blues", het titelnummer van hun nieuwe album, dat op 30 september verschijnt via Provogue / Mascot Label Group. Een sepia-getinte vooroorlogse blues-stomp die Risager doet verlangen naar: "Vrachtwagens vol duisternis hier, en mijn lucifers zijn drijfnat ... zal deze zwarte nacht ooit eindigen", het nummer draait een onheilspellend verhaal over verloren zijn in een afgrond, zonder richting huis. "Soms werkt je gps gewoon niet en zijn je kaarten verscheurd en weet je niet wat je moet doen of waar je heen moet", blikt Thorbjørn terug.

Format: DualDisc
Label: RUF Records GmbH

From his first appearance on the radar back at the turn of the century, when a handful of Danish blues pub-crawlers discovered a diamond in the rough on the circuit of Copenhagen, Thorbjørn Risager's meteoric rise has rarely allowed him the time to look back over his shoulder. Instead, for this critically acclaimed songwriter, once-in-a-generation singer, expressive guitarist, and bandleader of the mighty Black Tornado, it has been a career with his eyes fixed on the horizon, the next town, the next show, the next song, the next album.
