27042014 - Åse Kleveland "Stor Slem Pike"

This is the fourth album by the legendary Åse Kleveland, released in 1976, and it remains her last. The title track is a cover of JJ Cale's "After Midnight", with Norwegian lyrics by Finn Kalvik and Lillebjørn Nilsen. There's also a wonderful Norwegian version of the Beatles chestnut "She's Leaving Home", retitled "Se, Der Reiser Hun" and several other covers, all enhanced by her rich and wonderful voice. The album in its entirety is simply gorgeous, and it's a shame she never released another solo album!
