Description:
For the first-ever live album in his career, which encompasses more than forty years and over two dozen albums, singer-songwriter Eric Andersen chose to enlist a Norwegian blues band to help shake off the "acoustic troubadour" tag he outgrew long ago and to give his songs "a new, different kind of edge." "Blue Rain," recorded at an Oslo club in June 2006, focuses mostly on Andersen compositions dating back to the title song of his 1972 masterwork, "Blue River," presented in elegantly brooding electric arrangements. Track Listings: The Other Side of This Life/The Blues Keep Fallin` Like the Rain/Trouble in Paris/Runaway/Don`t It Make You Wanna Sing the Blues/Sheila/Goin` Gone/Losing Hand/Shame, Shame, Shame/Blue River/You Can`t Relive the Past.
