Tiger City Jukes - White Line Fever (1997)

The Tiger City Jukes were founded in 1995 by singer/guitarist Knut Eide and guitarist Harald Stokke. They wanted to make a blues band that could go beyond just playing the good old standards and create a sound of their own. After playing with different rhythm sections the first year, they settled with bassplayer André Vrolijk and drummer Haakon Hansen. André Vrolijk is also a great singer and songwriter, and now they were three guys in the band to write songs.

Their first fulltime album, “White Line Fever”, was released in 1997 after extensive touring in the Scandinavian Countries. Eleven out of fifteen songs are originals, written by Eide, Stokke and Vrolijk. Recorded and mixed by Per Fredrik Kjoelner, cover artwork by Espen Liland. The album got good reviews by the Norwegian press, and gave the band a boost to keep on beating the highway.
