December 13 - Somewhere Down The Crazy River

I know it got a little cryptic there, but the song was Somewhere Down The Crazy River from Robbie Robertson's debut album, Robbie Robertson, which was released in 1987, ten years after he left The Band, whose drummer, Levon Helm, was from Arkansas as the only non-Canadian member. I love this song, I have ever since we received this album at Radio Ung back in 1987. I didn't know Robbie Robertson or The Band much at all back then, but there is one song on it that was written and performed by Robbie Robertson and a very famous band, which were one of my favorite bands then and remain one of my favorite bands today, despite having released what I would consider quite a few mediocre albums lately, and that is where we are heading with the challenge of today...

We are looking for that band. They come from a bilingual country, and they have released one song with a title in the non-English language of that country. It happened to be on their debut album. The question is what is this band, what is the song's title, what does the title mean, and what was the name and year for this debut album?

But before we get to today's video, let's take a look at the scoreboard at the halfway point:
1. Jon Inge (35 points)
2. Snorre (15 points)

3. Jan Are (5 points)
3. Steffen (5 points)

Jon Inge has a solid lead, but he can still be beaten. Now enjoy Robbie Robertson...
