Arve Opsahl - Gutten Som Har Vaska Seg Skipperskrøner

Review by Kariola MUSTAPHA

Arve Opsahl's album Gutten Som Har Vaska Seg Skipperskrøner is a delightful collection of songs that showcases the artist's talent for storytelling. The album is an ode to the sea and the people who make their living on it. The songs are a mix of traditional shanties and original compositions, all sung in Opsahl's distinctive voice. The album's production is simple yet effective, with the focus being on the lyrics and the melodies. The instrumentation is minimal, with guitar, accordion, and fiddle providing the backing for Opsahl's vocals. The album is a must-listen for anyone who loves folk music and sea shanties. It is a fitting tribute to the seafaring life and the people who live it.
