Review by Tanya Gibbs

Alf Andersen's self-titled album is a masterful work of folk-infused rock music. The Norwegian singer-songwriter's unique voice and lyrical storytelling are on full display throughout the record's ten tracks. From the haunting ballad "Ghosts of the Past" to the rollicking "Rock N Roll Radio," Andersen showcases a range of influences and styles that make for a cohesive and compelling listening experience.

The album's production is top-notch, with lush arrangements and expertly crafted soundscapes that highlight Andersen's vocals and guitar work. The musicianship on display is impressive, with standout performances from the backing band on tracks like "Dreamers and Lovers" and "The River."
