Blues and Joys

• Track Listing

According to Sivert Branstedt "Blues and Joys" is a sort of a document of things that he picked up along an over 30 year journey including a couple of divorces, illnesses, recovery, poverty and lots of good times. Sivert mostly sticks to a free interpretation of the blues. But while recording live in the studio a few other things slipped in there too; an African piece that sounds a bit like Mississippi John Hurt, a couple of improvised instrumentals and some jazz tunes. Contains 14 songs.
