Steinar Albrigtsen - Life Is Good (1996)

Life Is Good is a dimmed plate from Steinar Albrigtsen, and many were probably surprised when this album came out in 1996. The most surprising to many was enough that the album lean more towards jazz than country. Many've become accustomed to thinking of Albrigtsen as a country singer, but on this album he shows that is completely different sides of themselves. He shows that he is really inspired by many types of music, as he always said. Life Is Good came out as ALBRIGTSEN fifth album. On this album there are many light shows, some bordering on pop music, others have a stronger jazz feel. There is also a blue song on the album, for everyone who misses country music. Although Albrigtsen is open to test many types of music, he discovered jazz quite late. He was already an adult, but got a taste for music and was inspired by the atmosphere and vocal performances of well-known jazz singers. On their previous album collaboration Albrigtsen closely with others, including Erik Moll and Tom Pacheco. On Life Is Good, he was more involved themselves. He helped write the lyrics, along with Pacheco, and Albrigtsen also created the music for eight of the songs on the album.
