KIM ANDRÉ RYSSTAD
Vegen
Heilo HCD 7265 (2011)
Highly regarded on the Norwegian folk scene, Rysstad uses his serene light voice
with restrained, calm reflectiveness, perhaps slightly unvaryingly so, in
traditional and new songs, with elegant accompaniments led by guitarists Trym
Bjønnes and Knut Reiersrud, the latter showing his customary perfect judgement
on acoustic and electric slides.
