TILBAKE – Lillebjørn Nilsen

Lillebjørn Nilsen´s Solo Debut

Tilbake is Lillebjørn Nilsen’s first solo release and is considered one of his more autobiographical albums. It depicts the time and environment when it came out, reinforced by the city sounds added in between the songs. The release includes familiar songs like "Far har fortalt", "Nattestemning fra en by" and "Ravneferd" – a song that Nilsen received as a gift from the legendary Roy Harper. One of the additional tracks is "Svikefulle Mari", a Norwegian version of "Whiskey in the jar" that was often performed at concerts in the 60s and 70s. Tilbake was a special LP with all music and recitation originally recorded in one: one track on side 1 and one track on page 2. These were added as track marks on the CD version in 2003. The same year Tilbake was re-released, two of Nilsen’s other albums were reissued on CD: Portrait (1973) and Byen med det store hjertet (1975). The three albums were digitally processed and greatly improved, and added 5 extra tracks each that were not included on the original LP releases.
