LÅT & TRALL – Låt & Trall (Sonet, 1971) / Gamla go'bitar (Europafilm, 1973)

International relevance: **/**
Swedish vocals, English vocals, instrumental

Originally known as Diddlers, this folk outfit changed their name to Låt & Trall when member Sten Erik 'Pyret' Moberg left the band. Not that they had any talent shortage with Kjell Westling, Urban Yman, Marie Selander and the beautiful-voiced Fred Lane in the band.

With Moberg's departure, the band's Irish oriented repertoire expanded to include Swedish tunes as well. ”Låt & Trall” was produced by folk legend Sam Charters and the second one by Bo Anders Larsson and the band, but they basically sound the same mixing instrumental tunes with vocal tracks in an acoustic, down-to-earth style. ”Gamla go'bitar” is a little bit better with richer arrangements, but they're both solid affairs worth hearing to fans of no frills traditional folk.
