CLAUDIA / BIG HAND / CASINO – FOOLS NEVER LEARN (1984)
Country trio formed in 1983 by three experienced and prominent artists: Claudia Scott (vocals), Ottar "Big Hand" Johansen (vocals, guitar) and Casino Steel (vocals). A kind of "the good, the bad & the ugly" within Norwegian country music. During a short and hectic career, the trio managed to make three albums, capture a Spellemannpris and increase Norwegians' understanding of quality country. They were three different personalities with very different singing voices (and singing expressions) that somehow worked well together. Claudia – daughter of Clive Scott – had the beautiful voice and calm expression. Big Hand was the robust, fatherly figure with power and poise. Casino was the rampage boy who, with his rough singing voice, charmed more than he impressed. The trio's debut record Will The Circle Be Unbroken (1983) sold well, and already the following year the sequel came out Fools Never Learn.
