This is the first of two wonderful volumes, each full of widely diverse music recorded with Kaiser, Lindley, and a variety of local musicians in the mountains and valleys of Norway-the title's SWEET SUNNY NORTH. Americans Kaiser and Lindley function largely as tour guides here. Their normally distinct styles are rendered in subtler hues as bright fiddles, native harps, and assorted stringed instruments play the distinctive instrumental and vocal music of Norway's rich heritage. The diversity is at once bracing and completely natural-there are even electric guitars and brass bands. In the face of SWEET SUNNY NORTH, played as it is with such genuine passion and glee that everything on the globe seems to disappear except the hometown fires of the participants, the absurdly broad term "world music" is rendered useless. This is "local music" in the best sense of the word-believable, human-scaled, and fluent in the international language of musical interplay.
