Comprising two volumes and 25 songs, representing the best of Risager's eleven studio and live albums to date, this compilation invites you to take the scenic route through the career of a fascinating modern bluesman. Volume One spans from 2004 to 2012 and captures the excitement of the beginning, when Risager and his original Blue 7 band put a fresh twist on the R&B of '50s New Orleans. The band rocked the clubs of downtown Copenhagen and scored the coveted title of 'Artist Of The Year' at his hometown Blues Festival in 2005.
On this first volume, you'll find the finest songs from that era's breakthrough albums. As the studio debut that saw Risager heralded as "the next big name in blues" by respected US publication BluesWax, 2006's From The Heart is represented by the hauntingly authentic porch blues of "Ain't Ever Gonna Leave No More." Championed by the same magazine – who praised a voice that "forces you to listen… one part Ray Charles, one part Bob Seger, one part Joe Cocker" – the 2007 follow-up, Here I Am, built on his reputation, with bruised soul gems like "Heart of The Night" announcing the Danish bluesman's ability to paint music in every color.
