Daniel Norgren, "Wooh Dang" (Superpuma)Daniel Norgren's devotion to American roots music is undisguised on his latest work, "Wooh Dang." Trippy, edgy and daring, Norgren's first international release makes the case one more time that cross-cultural exploration remains the most fertile frontier in popular music. The opener, "Blue Sky Moon," is a three-minute blend of one-note mood intonations, chirping birds and gentle strumming. Norgren sings of trains and John Wayne movies in what could have sounded trite but is somehow magical here. They are instruments in the soundscape he's creating — one more sign that Norgren has done something distinctive, different and new.
