Knut Reiersrud - Soul of a Man (1998)

This is a distinctive and eclectic Blues album created on Knut Reiersrud's own terms. Always a step ahead, Knut employed samples of legendary blues performances (this before Moby and the soundtrack to "Oh, Brother Where Art Thou") together with a band consisting of Paolo Vinaccia, Auden Erlien, Bugge Wesseltoft and Reidar Skar. The album is more of a band album with Knut's electric guitar virtuosity in focus. Three of the songs were written exclusively for him by Mac Rebenack and the late Doc Pomus. - From Knut's website
