"Blue Swede" -Björn Skifs had a successful career in the 1970's and this album with songs sang in english is one in a string of his albums released in the same decade. It's very much pop and light rock of it's time when it comes to production, sound and image. Disco was popular and most artists tried to sound more like disco which resulted in a sound that sound very dated today. So also in this case. Some songs are really terrible...

This albums release is both joyful and sad. Joyful because that at age of 83 he released an album worth of good material. Sad beacause it's probably his last album, his 42nd. The album is very stripped down, suiting BB perfect and with no guestartists as on previous albums. The band is of course great and tight and the songs are mostly covers of old bluessongs listed below. King recieved a Grammy for Best traditional blues album for this album and he was worth it that's for sure. Buy this album and enjoy some great music that's ALIVE!
