Album
ORBO & The Longshots
Genuine Handmade Rock ‘n’ Roll
(Rootsy.nu)

Price: 100 SEK

Last winter ORBO & The Longshots packed their instruments, left their ice cold and snowy native Norway, and flew to Memphis, Tennessee. To hear history whisper from the walls, to become the first Norwegians to ever record in the legendary Sun studio - to record songs live in studio for their second album. The trip also went to Nashville and another studio – perhaps less known but just as legendary. Nowadays it’s called Compass Sound Studio, formerly known as the Hillbilly Central, the birthplace of the outlaw country movement. They teamed up with the likes of Kevin Welch and Mike Henderson (Mark Knopfler’s own guitarist).

The result of this adventure is the album ”Genuine Handmade Rock ’n’ Roll”. As the title suggests, ORBO & The Longshots know their rock ’n’ roll history. It might also suggest that ORBO & The Longshots is about nostalgia. But despite the occasional rockabilly rhythms and rock ’n roll licks, ORBOs music is here and now. It’s timeless music with equal shares of blues, country, rockabilly and powerpop mixed to something fresh and exciting. Add ORBOs very special skill for writing hard-hitting and extremely catchy songs.

ORBO & The Longshots hails from Bergen, Norway and was founded 2000 by Ole Reinert Berg-Olsen (aka ORBO). Since the release of their debut album, ”Seven”, in 2004 the band has been touring as much as possible. They have learned their craft the hard way, by working small clubs all over Norway. ORBO was born in 1982 but he already has a lot of experience to add to his huge talent.
