Artist: JOHN NORUM [EUROPE]
Album: PLAY YARD BLUES (DIGI)

Release date: 2010
Media type: CD

Spring 2010 sees the birth of John’s long awaited new solo album “PLAY YARD BLUES“. A fantastic collection of John Norum originals as well as some covers. The difference with previous solo is that “Play Yard Blues” shows a little different side of John.

The trademark sound and riffings are definitely there but John also follows a more bluesy approach in several songs.
