Flying Norwegians - Wounded Bird - VINYL LP

About this product
Wounded Bird by Flying Norwegians is best Norwegian country rock album to ever have been made. An album that is so convincingly good, in every conceivable way, that it was almost released by A&M Records. But it's also an album that serves as a classic example in which everything that can go wrong, does go wrong. And at the worst possible time. The album was released in early 1976. The rest of the year should have been one long victory parade for Flying Norwegians, culminating in a of the album overseas in the United States. Instead, the band and it's fans were witness to a series of InchalmostInch events. Almost a breakthrough, almost record-breaking sales, almost released in the USA and almost nominated for a Spellemann. That last one was a mistake-no one remembered to send the record in for an evaluation, so the best Norwegian rock album of 1976 was not even considered for the award. It's a sad ending, but in some ways, it turned out good for one member of the band Rune Walle.1. Crazy Eyes Go Blind2. Turn the Page3. Taste of Money4. Let's Walk to the River5. Evening Prayer6.

The New Day- the debutalbum from Flying Norwegians is first truly remarkable country rock album from Norway., it's the first album to be convincingly good in a genre that we believed, until 1974, to solely be the domain of American artists with mud on their boots and whiskey on their person.The band, which was given the self-evident name Flying Norwegians, can be traced back to the end of the 1960s. Rune Walle met Nina Johansen at a People's College outside of Bergen and together they formed Oriental Sunshine. They released one LP in 1970, considered a classic, in which they fuse oriental soundscapes with folk music traditions. Two years later, Walle found himself in another pioneering band Hole in the Wall. This band mixed the sounds of both American rock and country with Norwegian folk music tonality, creating an album considered to be one of the very best to ever have been made in Norway.1.
