LOVE AND FREEDOM

Here is another document of how a band can survive for more than 40 years and 20+ albums - through dedication and integrity. Thomas Koppel died in 2006 (one of his songs appears on the album) but Anisette and two of their common children keep the band and its sound alive...and they still have a lot to say. Their very special blend of hard blues, Nordic melancholy and her (meanwhile older) powerful voice is embellished with mournful horns and tasteful strings on some tunes. The music is timeless and the natural instruments handled by competent musicians are a rare find these days. There is no nostalgia here - Savage Rose always existed in their own time and that is good.
