Christina Skjolberg - Come And Get It (2014)

Christina Skjolberg is a highly talented blues-rock guitar-lady and song-writer from Norway. She’s blonde and has a admirable beauty. But she has sanity, which you will confirm if you listen to her sog-texts. So do not mess around with her, she has dangerous crawls and can growl. Christina is playng left-handed as her inspiring big idol Jimi Hendrix, but her blues and blues-rock does not sound old-fashioned, but fresh and inspiring. Lady Skjolberg takes care as artist of The Future of The Blues!

‘Come And Get It’ as title- and starting-track is ideal to show the interpretation by Christina Skjolberg of modern blues, very groovalicious and funky, with some finest axe-solos the Chicago-Style. Her voice is superbe and dynamic. Come and start to dance… The second tune ‘Runaway’ is by the intuition of CS the rollin’ southern style with a great power-voice. By the third track ‘Close The Door’ Christina really explodes as rock-chick playing some axe-licks as Jimi would play them nowadays if he would still be alive. The Hammond-sound by Hari Taittonen provides a great sound-floor. ‘Bullet’ is the dynamic song where Tore Stattsveen on bass and Miri Miettinen can prove their wild skills as rhythm section and the lady lets her axe do the talkin’. ‘Get On’ is a funk-blues where Johnny Guitar Watson was certainly an inspirational artist. ‘Moving On’ is by the guitar-solos very relaxing and the blues construed the progressive style. ‘Inspiration’ features kind of hippie-freaky-style vocals and the six-string-therapy is kind of neoteric British-Blues , so mister “Slowhand” listen to it to get new gimmicks. ‘Hush’ is by grace not another cover-version, but a title by her own with another groovin’ melody. By ‘I’M Back’ CS roars the devil out of her soul, blues-rock-power at its glance. ‘Mrs. Funk’ grants great Hammond-solos again, more hellish and rockin’ than funky… ‘Nag Blues’ is as conclusion title really rollin’ and tumblin’, definitely a great live-song to hip-shake and dance. You definitely get so fiery
