Progglådan Box A: Tung Rock & Blues CD 110

Ulf Lundell och Nature

Ulf Gerhard Lundell (born November 20th 1949)

is a Swedish writer, poet. composer, musician and artist

...so there!

A heavy drinker in the 80s and a somewhat controversial figure

who has argued with everyone from neo-nazis, feminists and communists

to colleagues and music journalists.

His debut album Vargmåne (1975) saw him hailed as "Sweden's Bob Dylan".

'Öppna landskap' (Open Landscapes) one of his most famous songs,

has been playfully proposed as Sweden's new national anthem.

Here he is with regular backing band Nature in 1976

around the time of the second album Törst.

Nature always play well and the music is great/varied.

I don't speak Swedish so I can't comment on Ulf's lyrical genius.

Nature (with Dave Greenslade)/Rolf Wikström's Hjärtslag.

I've posted a version of the Nature session before.

A must-have for fans of Dave Greenslade.

Not compared the sound quality but this one is good

and has the additional tracks from Rolf Wikström's (Heartbeat)

Rolf's band are great and their blues-rock sound would have suited

San Francisco in the late 60s with QSM, Santana & Janis Joplin on the bill.

Nature with Dave Greenslade

Tonkraft (Swedish radio)

Legendary Swedish Radio Archives vol. 2

1972

Slightly remastered mp3 FM.

Swedish blues band Nature team up with Dave Greenslade

who, I guess, was between jobs having left Colosseum.

He formed the band Greenslade after this.

A real treat for any fan of Dave's distinctive keyboard style.

The band are no slouches either.
