After a hiatus of 6 years Bj\u00f8rn Berge finally releases his new studio-album \u201cWho Else?\u201d.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s definitely possible to be born in the land of the fjords and make your mark on the blues. Bjorn Berge has done so for many years, both in his home country Norway and abroad. <\/p>\n
Winner of two Norwegian Grammy Awards, Bjorn started the recording though as early as 2014, with the intention of releasing the album the same year. It started out like an acoustic record and it all was going according to plan. But during this time, he got asked to join the very popular Norwegian band Vamp who was going on tour, and Bjorn decided to put his solo album on hold and wait until Vamp had a break. That took a while. <\/p>\n
We\u2019re used to see and hear Bjorn Berge simply armed with his guitar and his stomping right foot. However, on this new album he takes us in new directions too. For many years Bjorn\u2019s audience have experienced what you can call \u2018World Championship in quick and rough guitar playing\u2019, both on record and live. Now he feels that it\u00b4s time to give some groove to the people. On \u201cWho Else?\u201d he\u2019s accompanied by an exceptional band, which brings a new dimension to his music; more feel, more tranquillity, more groove and more emphasis on Bjorn\u2019s excellent guitar playing abilities. Besides being one of the greatest European blues men, he is a true musical phenomenon. Bjorn can deliver it on the jazz stages, scrunches rock \u2018n roll-wannabees and surely is simply one of the greatest guitarists in the world. Bjorn Berge is a well-known name for almost 20 years, he has a voice like gravel and broken glass, and those who have seen this man on stage rate him highly as a true performer and virtuoso of the twelve-string guitar. Luckily enough the \u2018guitar express from the North\u2019 has delivered a new dynamic and energetic album where he puts this all on show again. With him, the blues seems to have no limits!<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it got decided that Vamp was going to slow things down in 2019, I desired to write some new songs and record everything all over again – and this time with a band\u201d, Bjorn explains.
\n\u201cAll the songs are written by me, and the lyrics are written by Ellis Del Sol, an American living in Norway. For me, this album is everything from blues and rock to Americana and even country. It\u2019s about love, driving, drunkenness and craziness\u201d.<\/p>\n
