Swedish vocals
International relevance: **
Little known singer/songwriter (information is scarce), but he was assumably of Danish descendance judging by his name. He released only one album in 1973 plus one single the following year. Only Janne Schaffer and Jojje Wadenius get musicians credit on the cover but it must be Björn J:son Lindh on flute.
Asger-Jensen was a rather talented
songwriter with a clear inspiration from folk rock as evident on
”Färden” and the title track. He supposedly had a couple of
Jethro Tull albums in his record collection too as some tracks have
tastefully proggy touches. More generally speaking, ”Clown” falls roughly between ”Lagt kort ligger” John Holm and B.L. Magnell meaning this is actually quite good. Whoever plays on it, they all
seem to have enjoyed their session work too because the backing
sounds genuinely inspired. Try for instance ”Den femte visionen”
which keeps building until it gets rather heavy with Schaffer
(presumably) going stringbending crazy towards the end.
Not a too common find but apparently rather cheap and well worth picking
up if you find it. I do like it quite a bit.
