Instrumental, Swedish vocals
International relevance: **
After two albums for Kjell Höglund's
independent label Alternativ and one album with his then future wife Marie Bergman, experienced
guitarist Lasse Englund with released ”Lila och orange” in
1980. Housed in an unassuming cover, the music is a lot flashier. The
album confirms Englund to be the technically brilliant fingerpicker
already debut ”Drakväder” revealed him to be. But as with many a
dazzling guitar player, the chops and brilliance gets in the way of
songs. Englund's shortcomings as a songwriter are further
demonstrated by the album's vocal tracks that are mediocre at best.
Leo Kottke fans will be delighted, but others might just as well
ignore this album.
Lasse Englund continued making solo records but his best known for his session work for countless of artists.
