Karin Wright - Too Rock`n Roll for Country (Too Country for Rock`n Roll) (2011)

“Norwegian country singer, Karin Wright, is a living example of the reality that music knows no boundaries in language, culture, country or genre. Her recent release, You Got the Silver, is a hybrid of country-western and bluegrass that runs with rock streams energizing this collection of pure American music. Her earlier albums (2009’s Hunting a Dream and 2011’s Too Rock’n Roll For Country) demonstrate Wright to be a formidable alt-country-roots artist with a deep understanding of the soul of the song. Her second album, Too Country for Rock ’n Roll, speaks volumes just in the title. As it suggests, she moves boldly through the fine line between a variety if genres without compromising any of her stylistic recreations, which include rockabilly, alt-rock, rock ballads, country and bluegrass. Her country influence is detectable on all of her albums, but nowhere do her credentials and talents shine so brightly as on You Got the Silver.”
