Thorbjørn Risager The new CD "From The Heart" released in September (label: Gateway) and has already been played on about 50 radio stations in 17 countries.
The Blues Critic wrote: "Sometimes a singer's voice just stands out and forces you to listen. Take one part Ray Charles, one part Bob Seger and one part Joe Cocker and you may have the vocal instrument of Denmark's Thorbjorn Risager... this record is ripe for international applause" http://bluescritic.com/march2007cdreviews.htm
