Album Notes

With his new effort, "Greaseland", Kid Andersen takes blues and the blues album to a whole different level
"Greaseland" is a concept album descrbing the life of a broke, disillusioned drunkard musician who loves to have a good time but is often overtaken by the blues.
Packed with great original songs, a few very fitting covers and lots of unparallelled playing by the Kid, his scandinavian rhythm section and the fine harmonica blowing of Richard Gjems and Charlie Musselwhite (on Greaseland Boogie)it is destined to be a classic.
The range of styles here are far wider than the mostly retro/west coast blues - tinged debut "Rock Awhile", as Kid finds his own voice in a landscape where the blues meets racous boogie, moody swamp-rock and even jazz and funk.
A totally unique album and a giant leap forward for this blues artist.

LATEST: "GREASELAND" WAS JUST NOMINATED FOR A SPELLEMANN AWARD, THE NORWEGIAN EQUIVALENT OF THE GRAMMY, IN THE BLUES CATEGORY!

Some famous quotes:

"Kid Andersen has a guitar style that is unlike any one else on the scene today. His vibrato and intensity matches that of Otis Rush and Peter green in his heyday. He manages to be a virtuoso without sounding like a guitar geek, capturing the reckless abandon of a primitive musician while at the same time displaying a seemingly endless arsenal of licks, tricks and skill on his instrument. He plays with great taste and creativity, forging old and new blues guitar stylings with a kamikaze attitude. At his best he sounds like the musical equivalent of a man jumping out of an airplane without a parachute, keeping you on your toes to watch him land on his feet.
There is no one else like Kid Andersen on the blues scene today. The Kid must be heard!"

- Peter Brown, Blues Soul records

"Kid Andersen is one of my favorite all-time guitar players!" - Charlie Musselwhite

"A big man and an even bigger talent." - Junior Watson

"This is a completely new take on blues! Kid is genuine and the best we've got!"
- Vidar Busk
