DENNIS PETTERSON – Motalapromenaden (Barrikaden, 1976)

Swedish lyrics
International relevance: **

Insignificant local private pressing by television factory worker Dennis Pettersson (later known as Dennis Renfors). It's singer/songwriter with a rock backing including some names well-known from Solen Skiner and Blå Tåget albums Pettersson is somewhat similar to Kjell Höglund but his political lyrics lack Höglund's observational flair. Höglund may not be a great singer in the traditional sense, but he sings with an urgency that makes him interesting to listen to. The same can't be said about Pettersson. The blues rocking ”Ställer upp som aldrig förr” is passable but ”Motalapromenaden” remains a parenthetical release at best.
