Grande won the 2007 Spellemannprisen in the blues category, but I ignored him completely. I figured it was some old-man dansband type bullshit, so why bother right? You know- the kind of stuff that makes old men with their greased-back hair and classic American cars feel young and tough. Luckily, that's not really the case as Grande does more than attempt to capture a long-gone era that no longer exists. It's especially apparent on tracks like album opener "We did it all", a revved-up, tweaked-out recounting of all the illicit substances he's ingested. It's a potent cocktail of Buddy Holly rhythms mixed with ELO helium vocals and the psycho/silliness of fellow modern Scandinavian rock'n'roll revivalists PowerSolo. Not quite as ragged as, say, Doo Rag/Bob Log III or Black Lips, but they certainly compete with The Black Keys in terms of the rawk. Okay, so a few (okay, many) tracks on the album stray a bit closer to AOR territory like I feared, but I dig this one a lot and that's what matters.
