Notes:
"Swedens Most Beloved Songs"A musical treasury of Sweden's greatest compositions from (1760 to now) come to life anew and brilliantly in English. Compositions too good to remain the exclusive domain of Swedish speaking people.
Info. Roger Hinchliffe
Swedish songs with their particular emphasis and tone have long been popular in Sweden and among those who brought them along to that country, but it is only a few who have specialized in translating the lyrics into English. Roger Hinchliffe is one of those few. Roger was born in Vermont in 1944, hails from Lexington, Massachusettes and has lived in Stockholm since 1973. He sang and recorded in the US with groups at Bowdoin College and Cornell University before moving to Sweden via the Peace Corps and Colombia. Today he divides his time between singing, production music and translating Swedish films into English.
Info Joe Bourne
Joe's first exposure to the Swedish community was during his performance at the opening of the Scandic Crown Hotel, Utreht,Holland and later at a product presentation gala for Gislaved Banden/tires and Volvo. Joe became aquainted with Roger Hinchliffe and the "Swedens Most Beloved Songs project, while on tour in Sweden in 1989, at which time a collaboration was agreed upon for this special compilation.
