GRUS I DOJJAN – Spelar hullimullan (Playback, 1972)

Swedish vocals, English vocals, instrumental
International relevance: *
 
Grus I Dojjan's goodtime mix of country, bluegrass, Irish, Scottish and Swedish folk was rather popular in Sweden in the 70's, but they should be regarded as a parenthetical inclusion here as they were more progg in attitude in style (”Hey, I know how to play and sing – neither can I but it's fun!”). They made eight albums up until 1981 (and a one-off album in 2002). This live album is their first and may appeal to fans of Euskefeurat, Sjön Suger and moonshine. If coloured vinyl interests you, then you can get this one in at least three different colours. But the music doesn't sound any better on any of them...

Later albums followed the same musical pattern. The band is still active.
