The last time I wrote about the musical adventurer Peter Lindström, he had just been out on a 3 month long tour in the USA. And this time he has recently returned from an even longer journey with concerts in Japan, Nya Zeeland and Australia.
He also has a new album to show us, “Petrel Petering”, which I thought I could present here in this post. It’s an 11 track long album, where he continues to explore the classic american singer/songwriter music. Add to this some blues and country songs like “Jesus’ Blood Ain’t Failed Me Yet”, a great track which almost gives me an impression like it’s Bowie singing Jaques Brel with country sound.
Peter has that kind of voice that makes it’s way inside of me. There is a warmth, a nerve and a precense that feels very real. With his story in the back of my mind, it gets even more interesting. Listen for yourself in a couple of tracks from “Petrel Petering”:
Well, let’s celebrate Christmas this year too here on Meadowmusic. And then with some Christmas songs you may not have heard before, at least not in the version you’ll find here.
The tracks we presented last year are of course good for this Christmas too.
Maybe you will find a new Christmas favourite or maybe you will find an artist you want to listen more to.
Slowman, aka Svante Törngren, released his debut solo album last autumn. The title is “The Best of Slowman”, which is an interesting title. And after listening and some afterthought I find it a rather fitting name. This could very well be an album from someone that has released a number of records during the years. Also, it feels like an album from someone that has created music for many years and that has rounded up quite a lot of music, and is now presenting some of the best parts to us.
For those that like blues rock and to some extent country rock, this is a fiesta. 15 really good tracks, with wonderful guitars and a front man that stands steady and has a great expression. And considering all the giants in this genre, it really takes someone who is able to fill out his clothes to be able to go all the way here, and I really feel that Slowman is that someone.
A pleasant new acqaintance, new at least for me, is Lo Kivikas. Last year she released her debut EP “Master of Your Mind”, produced by Jair-Rohm Parker Wells, and you can listen to a couple of tracks from the EP here below.
It’s a nice mix of country, blues and rock, rather peaceful and intimate. Lo has a special voice, maybe like a bluesier Marianne Faithfull, and her voice fits perfectly in these nice arrangements, backed by these skilled musicians. Hammond, harmonica, lap-steel, violins colour the music and brings the best out of each song.
Excuse the little break this week, but now I’m back again, and I and others will continue to present great music on this page. And I think it’s perfect to start with Moose Trail. We have written about Ulf Ljusberg before, and this time we see him in the company of Tobias Thun in Moose Trail, a band they have continuously developed beside their other projects.
In 2005 they released an EP, and now they are following this with the release of the song “Oh Lord”, which you can listen to here below. And I wouldn’t mind if this country and americana inspired music, with a nice touch of Nick Cave’s darkness, would lead to a full length album. According to plans, they will have Moose Trail have it’s live debut in the near future. To keep yourself informed of this, you can visit Moose Trail’s Myspace page, where you also can listen to more tracks.
