I wouldn't say that Finn Zetterholm's and Marie
Selander's voices and vocal styles are a perfect match, but it's no
wonder Zetterholm chose Selander as a singing partner on this album.
It's a collection of old short folk songs, some almost like
children's rhymes, and with no better female folk singer in Sweden
than Marie Selander, few could do this better than her. It's also
Zetterholm's best 70s album, much thanks to Bengt-Arne Wallin's interesting
arrangements quoting both jazz and renaissance music. No wonder, as
jazz players such as Palle Danielsson, Egil Johansen and Rune
Gustafsson appears, plus the nation's prime advocate for renaissance
music. multi-instrumentalist Sven Berger on instruments like dulcian,
hurdy gurdy and bassoon, and Eric-Gustaf Brilioth adding the
colourful timbre of crumhorn. It's not one of my regular spins, but
Folk & Rackare fans may be interested in hearing ”Lillfar och
Lillmor” at least once.
