Bellamy Brothers dedicate Norway show to murder victims

Tuesday, July 26, 2011 – The Bellamy Brothers will perform in Lyngdal, Norway this Saturday in memoriam of victims of the country's recent massacre.

Tragedy struck Norway last Friday with the devastating loss of more than 75 innocent lives from a mass shooting and bombing.

Howard and David Bellamy, who are traveling to Norway this week, were asked to dedicate their weekend Rosfjord Strand Hotel performance to those who lost their lives in the senseless attacks. "We've been playing concerts in Norway since 1976 and have cultivated many friendships and have fond memories from touring there over the years," said David Bellamy. "The nightmare they encountered this past week is almost unimaginable. I think the closest think we can relate it to is Sept. 11."

"When we perform in Lyngdal, Norway this Saturday night, we'd like them to know our thoughts and prayers go out to each and every person in their great country," said Howard Bellamy. "We are dedicating the show to the victims and the families and we hope the healing process can soon begin for everyone. God bless Norway and peace and love from the Bellamy Brothers."

This album is largely just a re-release of the Bellamy Brothers' 1996 album, "Tropical Christmas," which contained 11 of this album's 14 songs. Out of the three new songs, the title track is a trite, uninspiring song ("the reason for the season is love"). "God Bless America This Christmas" manages to rhyme "Afghanistan" with "foreign lands" and adds a dash of patriotism to your Christmas egg nog. The final addition to the old album is the "reggae holiday mix" of "Let Your Love Flow," although it's ...
The Bellamy's first release on Curb records since 1990, (and part of a settlement in the lawsuit the brothers filed against the label, draw your own conclusions) is a mixed bag. The disc offers something old, something new, something borrowed and will cause some blues in the hearts of those who expect more from the geniuses behind "Old Hippie" and "Lovers Live Longer." The new stuff ranges from the sublime ("What I Used to Do All Night" is a good-hearted diatribe against some of the more ...
