Swedish vocals
International relevance: *
Ingemar Olsson has already appeared on this blog once, with
his 1970 debut album ”Livs levande”. This is Olsson's third
album, and inbetween the two albums he had acquired a higher degree
of self-confidence. ”I alla fall” is basically a Christian
singer/songwriter album with upfront rock and pop aspirations, but it
has nevertheless a few progg ties which I think make it worth
mentioning. Tomas Ernvik collaborator Agneta Gilstig appears on
backing vocals on most of the tracks, and guitarist Björn Linder is
known from albums by Sam Ellison, Blues Annika, Runeson and Ola Magnell to name but a few. Also, two of the album's three cover
choices are fairly stirring, namely ”Kom om du vill” which is an
energetic Swedish take on Bob Dylan's ”Quinn the Eskimo” and a
rowdy and similarly Swedish version of Joni Mitchell's ”Woodstock”.
Beware of later re-recordings of the songs!
