TOMAS FORSSELL – Ingenting står stilla (Manifest, 1977)

Swedish vocals, instrumental
International relevance: **

First solo album from former Nynningen member Tomas Forssell, here with back-up from Luleå bands Rekyl and Skottes Musikorkester, including an appearance from Contact's Ted Ström on grand piano. Noted singer/songwriter Turid also makes a vocal appearance. The music sounds like expected with the people involved, steadfast rock music with sprinkles of folk music from Europe and the Near East. The playing is competent but the songwriting isn't particularly exciting. The album has a dull edge and fails to satisfy.

Forssell appeared on several albums by other artists over the years and later turned to children's entertainment. He's also the father of Swedish TV personality Gry Forssell.
