Knut says:
“War Horse”, is part two of my homage to the music I grew up with and that shaped my musicial interest and identity in the 70ties. Muskogee Hotel’s album “No. 2” is dedicated to heavy eclectic bluesrock, while “War Horse” is a singer- songwriter album with a production inspired by the sounscape from early 70ties.
In 2019 Knut released an album named “Drive” featuring Kinsey Rose from Nashville among other things known for her appearance at The Voice in the US in 2021.
