Pinewood Rally with Björn Skifs & his Blue Swede

whose swedish name was BlåBlus. Their 70's albums I just had heard on L.P. in the 90's. But now a CD-box with five first full leghth records has been released.

Realise they still made very soulful music, treated with both joy and strength. Brass accompaniment drives almost every track here (1973) and I still often love that sound, but now feels some bits too much or simple here. It's produced and arranged by Bengt Palmers.

Also includes early version of Hooked On A Feeling [composers shifts from rock to schlager to blues to italian to themselves].
