Last winter ORBO & The Longshots packed their instruments, left their ice cold and snowy native Norway, and flew to Memphis Tennessee. To hear history whisper from the walls, to become the first Norwegians to ever record in the legendary Sun Studio – to record songs live in studio for their second album. The trip also went to Nashville and another studio – perhaps less known but just as legendary. Nowadays it’s called Compass Sound Studio, formerly known s the Hillbilly Central, the birthplace of the outlaw country movement. There ORBO & The Longshots teamed up with the likes of Kevin Welch and Mike Henderson (Mark Knopfler’s own guitarist).
The result of the adventure is the album “Genuine Handmade Rock ‘n’ Roll”. As the title suggests, ORBO & The Longshots know their rock ‘n’ roll history. It might also suggest ORBO & The Longshots is about nostalgia. But despite the occasional rockabilly rhythms and rock ‘n’ roll licks; ORBO’s music is here and now. “Genuine Handmade Rock ‘n’ Roll” is timeless music with equal shares of rock, pop, blues, country, rockabilly, and Americana mixed to something fresh and exciting. Add ORBO’s very special skill for writing hard-hitting and extremely catchy songs.
