Review by Loren Jackson

The album, "The Early Years of Sigurd Barrett 1938-1952" by Sigurd Barrett, is a beautiful collection of songs that showcases the musician's talent and versatility. The album features a mix of traditional Danish folk songs, jazz standards, and original compositions, all performed with Barrett's signature style and flair.

The album opens with "Jeg Har Set en Rigtig Bondegård," a traditional folk song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Barrett's voice is clear and strong, and the accompanying musicians provide a wonderful backdrop for the song.

Throughout the album, Barrett shows his range as a musician, moving effortlessly from the upbeat jazz of "Jeg Går i Skoven" to the haunting ballad "Lille Sommerfugl." His piano playing is particularly impressive, as he weaves intricate melodies and harmonies throughout the songs.

One of the highlights of the album is Barrett's original composition, "Sigurd's Blues." The song is a tribute to the blues musicians who inspired Barrett, and his playing on the piano is both soulful and powerful.
