MONICA TÖRNELL/INGICA 6316 017 (-72) SWEDEN

 Already posted her second and third albums  https://monolover.blogspot.com/search?q=t%C3%B6rnell  . Now it's time for the debute. After being spotted by troubadour Cornelis Vreesvijk when singing at her fathers pub one evening he fixed her a contract with Philips Records, gathered a good background - among others Björn J:son Lindh arranging and playing keyboards and flute, Janne Schaffer on guitar, Jan Bandel on drums and Stefan Brolund on bass. Apart from "Vardag" , which she co-worte with Björn J:son Lindh, all here are version of other composers songs, among them Melanie, Alf Hambe, Carl Michael Bellman, Carl-Axel Dominique and Cornelis Vreeswijk. Check songlist below for who's behind what. An album grounded in Swedish folk tradition, though sometimes dressed in modern drag, as rock or jazz. Well put together by solid backing to sweet airy vocals. I really like her deliverance, keen and personal, making every tune matter. Hard to pick favourites, but why not "När Jag Var Ung" (When I Was Young), "Faster Fantasis Visa" (Aunt Fantasy's Song) and "Telegram Från En Bombad By" (Telegram From A Bombed Village) . To my knowledge only issued in Sweden. 2012 CDr (06025372106-7) and 12xFile FLAC on Universal. Vinyl had label as shown here in a fully structured cover.  (FÄV*)  (SCÄ*)  (CCÖ*)
