Reviews:
“I am in love with Annika Skoglund”… Skoglund is just so vulnerable, so full of
emotion, so intense”… that I was entranced and hooked from her first syllables.
The rest of the band supplies more than support, with Holmstrom’s soft and
sweet tenor, Kotter’s plaintive piano, and Jansson’s and Carlsson’s sympathetic
rhythmic support. All the music was written and arranged by Jansson
(except “My Man’s Gone”)… because it is all beautiful, heartfelt and honest, and
that which would entrance a live audience. Recommended”.
