Born in 1980, Norwegian Hans Bollandsås made a name for himself in his country when he won the 2010  X-Factor television song contest edition. Since then he has released six albums sailing between classic rock and pop ballads, but already in his first 2011 album he made it clear that his true passion has always been blues music, including Hoochie Coochie Man and Nobody's Fault But Mine covers. In 2016 he joined forces with the US-based Indian harmonica player Ami Kumar and recorded the splendid "In Session With Ami Kumar" a whole surrender to the twelve bars and a good preview of what this brand new "The Last Blues Album Ever Made" would be. In the album Bollandsås takes over all the instruments with just the occasional help of some guest - Kumar plays on a song - as well as the entire studio production work. It's not a proposal of easy approach, but behind it hides a musician of great benefits who shows without prejudice  the blues  as his unconditional source of inspiration.
