A very enjoyable album. Karin has a great country voice
and the backing is superb - Scottish Country & Dance Magazine UK

"The black and white album cover awakes assosiations to Gillian Welch and Iris DeMent, and Karin Wright's musical expression is as down to earth as it is with these two American Ladies.

Full House is built on a minimalistic approach to country music, her characteristic voice is lifted by accoustic instruments. The material on this album is a mix of Karin's lyrics and tunes by Jan Dahlen and great covers like 'Heartache tonight' by The Eagles and Tanya Tucker." (Dagbladet)*

"Karin Wright is no poseur. She is convincing. Her sound is simplistic and down to earth. Most of all, she is serious about her music." (Aftenposten)* - Aftenposten/Norway

"There are several other female 'country artists' in Norway. What they have in common is that they don't give us real country music, it sounds more like pale pop. But here comes a real Country Lady! She approaches the genre with honesty and soul. Her voice on top, along with the accoustic sound. She has a vulnerable and caracteristic voice that reminds of Toni Price. The lady from Austin that every week all through the year plays at the legendary Continental Club. Karin Wright also has this bluesy voice. This album has good songs, many are written in collaboration with Jan Dahlen, and she does an awesome version of The Eagles Heartache tonight. Yes this is impressive, finally a good Norwegian country-folk album. I pray to every truckdriver in Norway : Put on Karin Wright!"

"Honorable country debut. Her debut album as a solo artist is true to the genre, country music. Geir Sundstoel has put his mark on this recording, a wizzard on strings, plays the mandolin, eletric guitar, lap steel and pedal steel. He has also produced the album. Karin Wright and Jan Dahlen has written five songs together, they know the name of the game, the songs are varied and captivating. She is about to become one of the leading ladies in Norwegian country scene." (Fredrikstad Blad)*

By finally finding a home with a traditional bluegrass sound and The Rolling Stones song providing the title, ‘You Got The Silver’ is the start of something big for Norway’s Karin Wright. - Famous Last Words

In the ten years or so that Karin Wright has been living and breathing the life of a musician, operating within the genres of country rock and now bluegrass music, there has been one constant during this progression through the ranks, and that is to be true to herself. By maintaining a strict regime to this one particular ethical code has seen Karin Wright create the enviable position of being able to write and record the music which feels most natural to her, without any compromise or interference, and, in the process, build a steady following that are now enjoying her latest album ‘You Got The Silver’. -

I remember when Norwegian country music sounded very Norwegian and nothing like anything that ever came out of the country that created country music. When performers thought a Stetson was all it took, and so did the record buyers. And even the good ones didn't really sound authentically American, which, let's face it, all proper country music should. Well, just this year there's been several brilliant Norwegian acts that sound like they come from various parts of that land, and this is one of those. I guess the word we're looking for is "authentic". Or how about "heartfelt"? "Real" and "true" are two more of my favorites. Karin Wright knows that you gotta have a fiddler in the band (and a mandolin player too!), and her country songs are mostly of the broken hearted kind, which always was the best kind anyway. Her voice gives you just the slightest hint that at least a few of these songs are based on experience, but whatever bad has happened in her love life ended up as songs to lift our spirits, so hey, lost some, won some I guess? This is an album I would recommend to all lovers of the genre any day, so to me "You Got the Silver" is pure gold. - An Album a Day

Norwegian bluegrass/country singer Karin Wright has released a new music video from her current album, You Got The Silver.

It’s for the familiar Stanley Brothers classic, Love Me Darlin’ Just Tonight, but it takes a unique approach. The musical arrangement is hard-charging and traditional, but the video consists of animations by Karin’s friend Hanne Nystroem with Haugtussa Productions.

See if this doesn’t give you a chuckle. - Bluegrass Today
