Jonas Fjeld & Chatham County Line

about

Since he started in music almost 40 years ago, Jonas Fjeld has done everything from crazy comedy to heartfelt love ballads, from rough contry rock to successful variety theatre with [Norwegian poet, writer and singer] Ole Paus.

There is a rare intensity in his interpretation of lyrics. He conquers them and makes them his own. Big enough for him, and big enough for us [referring to Fjeld's brilliant 1989 album Svært nok for meg (Big/Tough Enough for Me)]. Jonas Fjeld [aka Terje Jensen] started his career listening to the radio and records as a child in Drammen. At the age of 14 he did his first public performance with a friend at the local church. Naming themselves You and Me, they sang the Monkeys' "I'm a Believer" for an unsually believing audience. Inpired by Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, Jonas started his studies of flute playing. At a
