Viser Og Slåttar Frå Telemark, Knut Buen, Bjarne Øverbø - Imellom Fjelli Blå

Review by Martin Lucas

Imellom Fjelli Blå, the latest album by Viser Og Slåttar Frå Telemark, Knut Buen, and Bjarne Øverbø, is a stunning tribute to the traditional music of Norway's Telemark region. The album features a mix of traditional songs and original compositions, all performed with exceptional skill and artistry.

From the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Knut Buen to the intricate fiddle playing of Bjarne Øverbø, every track on Imellom Fjelli Blå is a masterclass in traditional Norwegian music. The album's arrangements are both faithful to the source material and creatively interpreted, making for a rich and varied listening experience.

Standout tracks on the album include "Jenta i Saueflokken," a lilting ballad with a bittersweet melody, and "Vesle-Kari," a lively dance tune that showcases the virtuosity of the musicians. The album's closing track, "Sjå, Solen Bakom Fjelltopp," is a stirring ode to the majesty of the Telemark landscape, and a fitting end to this exceptional collection of songs.
