Americana UK Is Effusive About Leif Vollebekk’s New Album

According to Americana UKLeif Vollebekk‘s new album is like “Ryan Adams with more than a hint of Richmond Fontaine and add some lush orchestral layers into the mix and the result is an album that immediately grabs the attention. There are albums that get their claws into you from the very first bars. It is an otherworldly and unknowable something that reaches its mitts around the senses within seconds of the opening track; something that speaks of riches to come. The culprit here is ‘Rock and Roll’ with its thumping drum riff quickly overlain with gorgeous strings and piano. It is the sort of opening track to make the hairs on the back of the neck stand to attention… Whatever the motivation, Vollebekk, who self-produced and played piano, guitar, bass, B3 organ, harmonica, accordion and Moog synthesizer on the album, has delivered a superb piece of work. Revelation is an apt a title as any for an album that deserves a place on those end-of-year lists so beloved by, well, everyone.” The album is at radio now from Secret City Records; get it spinning now, and read the full Americana UK review here.
