EMIGRANTORKESTERN – Nylonrock och mollskinn (Folksång, 1982)

 
Swedish vocals
International relevance: -

Emigrantorkestern's first album had some documentary value, but it's hard to find any value at all in their second one. Way too heavy on the humour, ”Nylonrock och mollskinn” sounds like a free-for-all between Skäggmanslaget, Grus I Dojjan and Aston Reymers Rivaler. Best track is the melancholy ”Gengångare”, but that is completely overshadowed by an idiotic rock'n'roll pastiche, fake cajun and plastic bluegrass. And oh, it was released on Fria Proteatern's label Folksång. That surely didn't help their cause.

Two album tracks were also released as a single, and Emigrantorkestern made one further album, "Rårivet" in 1983.
