"Trolls, fairies, water spirits, mountain giants, elf kings and little people - those are the main characters in Kerstin Blodig`s sung fairytales. Even though the songs are mainly traditional and medieval ballads from Scandinavia, the singer and guitarist manages, without being corny, esoteric or evoking associations of "Ronia, the Robber's Daughter", to transport the listener into the world of Nordic mythology.
Blodig is a first-class guitarist, easily on a par with Michael Hedges or Don Ross, and she graces the traditional folksongs with her imaginative playing. Innovatively she slaps and taps the strings and, if it serves the song, lets her instrument groove.
Because the arrangements of the songs are minimalistic, her virtuosity as an instrumentalist really shines. Above all this a soaring crystal-clear voice. Enchanting!"
Blue Rhythm

"With her voice...crystal-clear like pure water freshly flowing from a mountain source, she brings forth the various emotions with originality and passion."
The Sunset Magazine

"Blodig impressed us with one of the most expressive voices I've ever heard."

"Her voice is a wonder, soft yet insistently riveting"
Jim Fowley, USA

"…this is wonderful work, excellent recording and sonic aesthetic; the performances really shine - Kerstin: You are the lady of the lake… legend has it that your spell is set the moment you whisper in the ear... - (I should know… she turned me into a newt!)
Del Vezeau, Canada
