1999: the penultimate year
of the century proves to be a vintage one for Sweden's finest bob hund.
They were responsible for no less than two new albums in the racks,
the great " Jag rear ut min själl ! " (actually released late '98,
but better heard in '99), and the band's first live recording "Sover
Aldrig".
After 5 studio albums and
loads of singles and EPs, it was high time for our Swedes to finally
leave a trace of their much-lauded live shows. Mission accomplished
beyond everyone's expectations. Not only "Sover aldrig" offers an ideal
tracklisting which could provide an excellent "Best of..." compilation,
it also manages to fully capture the band's legendary live form. Never
before had bob hund appeared so close together and united: this is the
sound of people staying together, playing together, the sound of a real
band. Furthermore, never before had John and Conny's guitars sounded
so sharp, clear and blazing. We already knew that the guys were an essential
part in bob hund's music, but here it becomes glaring evidence. Check
any track (may I suggest Allt pa ett kort or the end of Det
skulle...) to be sure: this album is THEIR album.
And a damn good one for sure.
