This is a soul album which digs right to the core of the message: Shake off any worries with an enormously dynamic band, and let the singer channel your griefs – great or small – out of your body to where they belong, shared with us all!\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfter Solomon Burke, Bobby Bland and Percy Sledge passed away we are safe in saying that up to our time Mighty Sam McClain has been truly unique in today's deep soul. With Reiersrud's potent band: David Wallumrød keyboards, Nikolai Hængsle Eilertsen bass, Bjørn Holm guitar, Andreas Bye drums and Håkon Kornstad saxophone, there is no way this could go wrong. And it doesn't. \"Tears of the World\" is an especially mellifluous, rich and rewarding album.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnd it would be just so perfect if that was all there was to say about this great album. But unfortunately, fate intervened as Sam had a stroke in April this year. On 16 June we received the sad news that he had passed away the night before. The fabulous soul artist Mighty Sam McClain will never again grace the stage with his presence. Bearing this in mind, we are releasing \"Tears of the World\" as a tribute to the music he cherished and passed on through his long life on the American blues, gospel and soul stage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMighty Sam McClain has been celebrated as one of the greatest voices in his genre, but he also had first-hand knowledge of what it means to be a Black American musician in the USA, a country which in no way has left the issues of racism and strong class conflicts behind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKKV is releasing \"Tears of the World\" as a tribute to Mighty Sam McClain's vocal brilliance and to the long-term cooperation between two artists who on different continents are loved and praised for their clear signatures within the same genres. Their cooperation started with \"Scent of Reunion\" in 2009, a duet album with Mahsa Vahdat and Mighty Sam McClain, where Knut Reiersrud was the arranger. It continued with \"One drop is plenty\", a duo album with McClain and Reiersrud, which was released in 2011.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere is a wide selection of songs on \"Tears of the World\", as newly written music by Reiersrud\/Wasserman is meshed with \"hidden treasures\" from Sam's life in music.
