This band was riding high on the Norwegian folk rock wave back in the 1970s. One of the
reasons is this album which is regarded as a classic from that scene.Prog wise, only Den gode grønne skogen have a structure which can be attributed to the prog rock scene. The music is rooted in the Norwegian folk music scene with the traditional singing (kveding) and the harding fiddle. Folque has then added some country & western from USA to give the music a contemporary feeling (well, in the 1970s). There are some bluegrass and straight country here. Banjo, bass and drums. Welcome to Nashville, Tennessee. The "rock" bit in folk rock is not present. The quality is dubious. Mainly because I am not a fan of folk music from my own country. There is no prog rock here too, with the small exception of the song mentioned. The songs are decent, but nothing more. Den gode grønne skogen is the only good song here and that's all I get out of this. 2 stars
