5.0 out of 5 stars Impressed by Frigg, November 1, 2005

By	C. Reimer "Heathen Godi" (Wichita, KS) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I listened to a few of the samples of FRIGG on Amazon.com, and I was impressed enough to buy the CD. Once I got home from the post office with it, I immediately placed in my CD player, and OMGs!!!!!!!!!!! This is TRULY a great CD. It's along the same sound of Vasen, but yet a cut above. While listening to the CD, I checked out the cover art, only to find a serpentine Rune drawing coupled with Heathen rock art. WOW!!! According to the CD, Frigg represents a combination of the "elements of Finnish and Norwegian traditions with touches of American roots music." Whatever this is, and what ever it represents, IT WORKS!!!! Vasen, who?

Another Excellent CD; first heard this band on PHC in 2007(prairie home companion); great folk sound, a lot of upbeat very musical tunes. Great pick-me-up! Highly recommended for the likes of good folk music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nordic Folk at its best, April 29, 2009

Frigg is a group that hails from both Finland and Norway made up of of five fiddlers ; of Alina Jarvela , Esko Jarvela ,Annti Jarvela ,and the Norwegian Brothers of Gjermund and Einar Olav Larsen to round out the fiddles and Hardanger Fiddles .To further fill in the sound of the already great Fiddles Frigg adds the Guitar and Dobro playing of Tuomas Logren ( to add the Americana Sound )and the Mandolin playing of Petri Prauda and the Double bass playing of Annti Jarvela . This is the first of three albums for Frigg , thier two later albums are clearly thier best however, Frigg does not fall short on this album , they do however experiment with the sound that they perfected on thier lastest album of "Economy Class " released in 2008 . This Self Titled Debeut , is Truly a Great Album . My favorite tunes are Metaus , Halling (which almost has an American Country Sound to it),and Egi . Why those are some of the Highlight's of the album but the Album should really be listened to start to finish .
