When you chase that devil’s music, aka the blues, it never matters where you begin. At some point you must end up in Mississippi, the taproot of blues. Spoonful of Blues is one of the top blues bands in Norway, and though they regularly play throughout Scandinavia they have also played the Sunflower Blues Festival in Clarkesdale, Mississippi. In fact, the band’s singer and harmonica player Jostein Forsberg travels at least once a year to Clarkesdale, Memphis, and other Delta blues hot spots. Those trips have exposed Forsberg to the purest blues in the world and, as co-writer of these 13 originals, his song writing is lean and precise.

Add to that the juke joint authenticity recreated in the band’s home studio in Notodden, where they use the board from the Stax Studios, and you have a band who understands how to best engineer the music you play to sound like the place it comes from. The Mississippi blues that Spoonful admires is built on riveting, hill country grooves established by the driving rhythm section playing below Forsberg’s gritty, electric harmonica and Morten Omild’s raw guitar work.
