Rolling Stone reviewed Louise Hoffsten's Knäckebröd Blues and heralded a blues talent from an unexpected place:
"Hoffsten was a major pop star in her native Sweden when a turbulent divorce and the onset multiple sclerosis turned her life into an Ingmar Bergman movie. She's back, defiant but wiser, with a terrific blues album that has divas Bonnie Raitt and Marcia Ball testifying that she's the real thing. Although she's no shouter, her tart, delicate soprano enables her to shift emotion nuances and deliver dimensions of feeling often missed by many blues belters."
A hard-driving, from the heart celebration of life and jazz from an all-female band that's stood the test of time, including originals and wonderfully refreshing arrangements of some great standards.
Haunting soulful rock and pop in a Rickee Lee Jones meets Bonnie Raitt style with incredible lyrical imagery and A list players from Boston and Nashville.
