Another album on the puzzling, bewildering, stylistically inconsistent and utterly fascinating Piglet label. Stylistically inconsistent is also the best way to describe ”Harry Hoogan behöver dig”. Here you get funk, rock, reggae, show jazz, balladeering – all in one unkempt mess. The reason is that Hoogans Musikteater, originally named Komadawoloteatern, was a theatre group as much as a musical one, and the songs were taken from a stage play.
The problem with ”Harry Hoogan behöver dig” is the same as with many albums such as this – it doesn't work as an album. It's just a bunch of poor songs that seem out of place without the narrative framework of the play. Not all of Piglet's releases are great, and this is one of the weakest.
The group also had ties to Låt & Leklaget who released a number of children's albums in the 80s.
