Micke Bjorklof & Blue Strip - Outtakes [VINYL]

Outtakes is a retrospective album featuring nine previously unreleased tracks from Micke Bjorklof & Blue Strip - This unique collection contains songs, recorded over the years but for various reasons, were left off past albums, capture the band's evolving sound and dedication to blues-rock excellence.

We usually had a few extra songs when we went into the studio to record the album in case some of the songs didn't "take off" as expected. Sometimes the direction of production can also change as the process progresses, which affects the album as a whole. However, a lot of effort has been put into these songs and they have been carefully prepared for the album and produced to completion. It is at least justified to give them another chance to reach listeners, and we felt they deserved a platform of their own. Although the songs are from different eras, I think they formed a very good and balanced whole" says Micke Bjorklof.

Spanning from the early 2000s to the present, Outtakes showcases the shifting styles and influences of one of Finland's most celebrated blues-rock bands. Outtakes is not only a collection of rare tracks but also a kind of time travel through the arc of the band's musical and sonic evolution from the early 2000s to the present day. Each song reflects the shifting moods, styles, and influences the band has embraced over the years, capturing the essence of one of Finland's most celebrated blues-rock bands over 30-year journey in the blues-rock scene.
