Description
A magnificent voice, a personal sound and hard work. Plus a band that sticks together through thick and thin. Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado's success at home and abroad hasn't happened by itself.

A mug of Nescafé steams away in the band's little practice room in Copenhagen's Vesterbro district. It's a classic setting, with instruments everywhere, the obligatory ashtrays and empty beer cans, and the total absence of vacuum cleaners and cleaning agents. It looks like one of those familiar music rooms in a state of creative chaos where dreams thrive, but where actually hitting the road and turning dreams into reality is a different story.

Here, however, things are the complete opposite. Thorbjørn Risager and his band are light years away from any dream state. They belong to the top strata of the Scandinavian blues scene, making themselves heard like few others.

Description
This is one of Denmark's hardest working and most sought after bands. They have played as many as a hundred live gigs a year for the past ten years, become one of the country's hottest music exports, and have released seven albums.

Now Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado (formerly the Thorbjørn Risager Band) are coming out with their eighth album, Too Many Roads.

Until recently the band released its records on a variety of Danish labels, but has now signed a contract with Ruf Records. This new collaboration reflects Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado's great international potential, placing the band in the fine company of artists such as Walter Trout, Candye Kane, and Omar and the Howlers.

For this latest recording, the band assembled a strong team for its recording session at the Medley Studio in Copenhagen, with Søren Andersen as engineer and Jesper Yebo Reginal in charge of mixing. This time the band has chosen to produce the album themselves.
