Two of the most important albums from the 1970?s Scandinavian folk music scene are now released on one CD. Ulf Gruvberg?s and Carin Kjellman?s album 'Folk och Rackare' (1976) and 'Rackarspel' (1978), which they released after forming the group Folk & Rackare together with Norwegians J?rn Jensen and Trond Villa. Carin Kjellman and Ulf Gruvberg are legends, both as folk musicians and for their doubly educational efforts as radio hosts and editors on the Swedish Radio. Their cooperation began in Gothenburg in 1970. Soon, they began botanizing and modernizing medieval ballads. Their music also struck a balance between conservation and breaking new ground. Since 2017, Folk & Rackare are reunited, and with this release there are two more Swedish folk music classics available again. Timeless songs in a new format, just as it originally intended.
