Melody Mountain – Susanna and the Magical Orchestra
SusannaSonata SONATA 001 2006Singer Susanna WallumrĆød has a unique way of making a song her own, and to fill the lyrics and melodies with the emotional content they require. This was made very clear with her stunning interpretation of Dolly PartonĀ“s classic āJoleneā, recorded for the duoĀ“s debut album āList Of Lights and Buoysā (2004). A song covered by many artists, but seldom with such heartfelt sincerity. With āMelody Mountainā they have chosen to do an album of only interpretations, some quite radical, of mostly well-known songs, all personal and moving performances with Morten QvenildĀ“s naked and to the bone playing an important part in the overall soundscape. Full track list includes āHallelujahā (Leonard Cohen), āItĀ“s A Long Way To The Topā (AC/DC), āThese Daysā (Matt Burt) “Condition Of The Heart” (Prince), “Love Will Tear Us Apart” (Joy Division), “Crazy, Crazy Nights” (Kiss), “DonĀ“t Think Twice, ItĀ“s All Right” (Bob Dylan), “ItĀ“s Raining Today” (Scott Walker), “Enjoy The Silence” (Depeche Mode) and “Fotheringay” (Fairport Convention).
