International relevance: -
Featured in the ”100 other artists to
check out” list in ”The Encyclopedia Of Swedish Progressive
Music”, and another odd inclusion. Lalla Hansson was in 60s band
Fabulous Four who did a couple of great freakbeat tracks, but as a
solo artist, Hansson went for a more country tinged soft rock style.
It's pretty twee stuff but I kind of like some of what he did, which is a decidedly unhip thing to say. He relied heavily on
covers, especially on his first two albums, but his Swedish
translations are often very good – he had a real knack for
transposing mostly American songs to a Swedish setting. Which of
course is competely lost on non-Swedish listeners, and with very
little progg involved here, there's not much to recommend here in
that context.
