The third release from The Fried Okra Band boasts the raw sound of a trio concentrated around vocals, two guitars and drums. Further spice is added by the one string Diddley Bo, harmonica, mandolin, banjo-mandolin, a variety of percussion and last but not least, fat sousaphone bass lines laid down by the occasional fourth member of the band.

“We play only love songs” –
Morten Lunn, The Fried Okra Band.

The album consists of 12 okra originals.
In a genre where covering the blues tradition is very common,
The Fried Okra Band plays their own songs. “There's a World Outside my Door” is the band’s second release of entirely original material.
The lyrics concerning everything from love to shopkeepers and hotdogs and referring to the city of Copenhagen that The Fried Okra Band call their home.

“We have a sound - our own, and I like it” -
Thomas Foldberg, The Fried Okra Band.

Morten Lunn:
Vocals, guitar, diddley bo.
