BLUESBLOCKET – Bluesblocket (Tredje Tåget, 1981)

Swedish vocals
International relevance: **

A blues band founded in Lund in 1980 by Mats Zetterberg, previously of progg/punk outfit Fiendens Musik. Bluesbocket's repertoire originally consisted of several John Mayall numbers translated into Swedish by Zetterberg. The band used two different guitar players, Mårten ”Micro” Tegnestam and Jan Gerfast who played on one side each on ”Bluesblocket”. A plethora of musicians has appeared with the band over the years, including Peps Persson.

Bluesblocket's only album hitherto came in 1981 with appealing tracks like ”Sovit så dåligt”, ”Vad är det för ett liv” and ”Du skriver och frågar”, but it's not in the same league as for instance Slim's Blues Gang and certainly not Peps Persson.

A rare blue vinyl edition of the album also exists.

The projected follow up 1985 album remains unreleased as a whole. A new album was however released in 2019, "Svart blues är ett vitt begrepp".
