Editorial Reviews

Guitar, vocals: Thomas Juneor Andersson(Kamchatka), Drums: JP Gaster (Clutch),Bass: Ulf Rockis Ivarsson (Beat Under Control),Keys, guitar, vocals: Per Wiberg (Opeth) Guest: Eric Oblander (Five Horse Johnson).This album documents one week in Sweden when this small gathering of traveling musicians threw their ingredients into the collective cauldron, enjoyed the meal, and then departed as quickly as they had come. For this reason, they call the group,and its debut release, King Hobo.

This cd is a great collection of bluesy phsycodelic songs.What I really like is that none of them sound the same.They run the gammit from rock to blues to even a 70's stlye jazz rock fusion (Mr Clean).I am talking about some great musicianship here starting with Thomas Andersson of Kamchatka on guitar(another band a must check them out),some keyboards and harrp also add little something to the mix as well as the firery sax on Mr Clean.If your familiar with grooveyard records(my favorite label)than this cd goes along with all the other great guitar music they have been churning out.This cd is right on the money

I was sampling music on Amazon.com one day when I came across this band. Hmmm never heard of them, so I listened to samples and thought "sounds good enough to add to my collection".

Well when I received it I was blown away with their creative sound. Each song is unique with a 70's classic rock feel. I love the different instrumentation added which fills each song. Turn down the bass as the low end is very powerful.The lead singer on "Running" reminds me of classic Rare Earth.

The guitar work is impressive especially how it interacts and flows with all the other instruments on "Mr Clean". Not too overpowering but recognizable. Like Jim McCarty from Cactus.

Vocals sound a bit like Leaf Hound. John Popperish harp playing...sweet!

I give it 5 stars.
