Swedish vocals
International relevance: **
”Goda'
goda'” is one of the GREAT Swedish childrens' records of all time,
a fantastic LP chock full of brilliant songs and Jojje Wadenius and
his Made In Sweden pals at their very best. The lyrics were written
by children's author Barbro Lindgren, and she did the same for ”Puss
puss sant sant”, recorded almost ten years after ”Goda' goda'”
as a kind of sequel. But times were different and so were the
musicians, and the childlike joy that permeated the original album
wasn't to be repeated in 1978. The band tracks sound like an ordinary day at work, very studio musicians-like, and Wadenius himself often
sounds as if he just goes through the motions vocally. Some songs are
fine though, with the best one being the beautiful and ironically enough instrumental ”Vintervisa” which is close to what John Renbourn
Group did on their albums from roughly the same time, complete with
tablas. But compared to the album ”Puss puss sant sant” was
styled after, this is a real disappointment.
