Jorn Lande - 'Mistreated' (Christmas blues show 2015)

I've been mistreated
I've been abused
I've been struck downhearted, baby
I've been confused
'Cause I know, yes, I know
I've been mistreated
Since my baby left me
I've been losing my mind
You know I have
I've been lonely
I've been cold
I've been looking for a woman to have and hold
'Cause I know, yes, I know
I've been mistreated
Since my baby left me
I've been losing, I've been losing
I've been losing my mind
Baby baby baby
I've been mistreated
I've been abused
I've been looking for a woman
I've been confused
'Cause I know, yes, I know
I've been mistreated, oh, oh
Since my baby left me I've been losing, losing
I've been losing my mind, baby, baby, baby
Oh, oh, oh
Oh woman, oh woman, oh woman
I've been losing my mind

Το τραγούδι "Mistreated" αρχικά προοριζόταν για το album των Deep Purple "Machine Head". Τελικά αποτέλεσε μέρος του δίσκου "Burn" που κυκλοφόρησε το 1974. Στην παρούσα ανάρτηση θα δούμε και θα ακούσουμε τον Jorn Lande να το αποδίδει "ζωντανά", στην πατρίδα του (Νορβηγία, για την ακρίβεια στο Trondheim) πριν από εννέα χρόνια (2025).

Νομίζω πως οι συστάσεις με τον Jørn Lande περιττεύουν. Από τις πλέον χαρακτηριστικές φωνές στο ευρύτερο hard & heavy μουσικό φάσμα. Τον ακούμε -μεταξύ άλλων- σε δίσκους των Ark, Beyond Twilight (τι δισκάρα το "The Devil's Hall of Fame";), Masterplan, The Snakes, Millenium, Allen - Lande κλπ. Από το 2000 "τρέχει" και την προσωπική του καριέρα (ως Jorn).

Δελτίο τύπου: «In 2015 Jorn was invited to perform at the "Juleblues" Christmas show in Trondheim, Norway, together with Mr Hansen Blues Band.

The concert is mainly a blues and soul show and has been a yearly Christmas event featuring various guest singers and musicians.

Jorn grew up with music rooted in the black blues and soul and with this show he had the opportunity go out of his more metal and heavier rock shoes, to perform classics from the 60's 70's song book.

As an old fan of what was categorized as "the white man's blues influenced rock from bands like Free, Deep Purple, whitesnake etc, "Mistreated" was an obvious choice to add to the set list, a perfect fit for his powerful voice.»
