Swedish vocals
International relevance: *
Little known rock singer/songwriter that worked hard on his Ulf Lundell look on the album cover but sounding more like a lesser version of Swedish country/soft rock singer Lalla Hansson.
Peter Nordström debuted in 1978 with
one-off single ”Det kommer nya tider”/”Salongsbolsjeviken”
featuring Björn J:son Lindh on piano. He appears on the ”Ensam
och fri” album too, plus Kebnekajse's Mats Glenngård, Berndt Egerbladh and a number of seasoned studio
musicians such as Jan Bandel, Ola Brunkert and
Peter Lundblad.
The album is insignificant and
Nordström's lyrics are full of ”lonely man drifting restless
through the world” clichés that are quite
irritating as he doesn't sound at all like somebody with a romantic
hobo lifestyle. Rather like a perfectly ordinary bloke who sends
his kids to school in the morning and walks the family dog named
Fluffy when he comes home from his boring work at the local insurance
agency xeroxing papers no-one really needs.
The best track is ”Det här är mitt liv” but that's a Swedish cover of Danish band Gasolin's hit ”This Is My Life” from a few years earlier. In short, this is a redundant album and the only one Nordström made.
