About a decade ago Charlie Persson hit the wall. He decided to focus of what’s important to him and took a number of decisions. One of these decisions was to release at least eight albums before quitting his music career. And this October he relased number eight, “Lejon och Lamm” (“Lions and lambs”), though it’s only number six since 2000.

It’s high speed ahead from the first beats with a root rock with storytelling lyrics. The saxophone and the rock party atmosphere make me think of  Springsteen’s first albums, but Charlie’s own description works fine for me as well: “a mix of Mink DeVille, Wilmer X and a moped-burnout”.

If you like the song here below, the single “Nattåg till Arkadien” (“Night Train to Arcadia”) you should definitely head over to Charlie’s site to listen to the other tracks. You can also listen on Spotify.
