Swedens best kept secret The Refreshments are the living proof of that statement.
After over 30 years of being a rockinâ unit they still deliver small gems that against all odds will climb up the charts .
Unaffected by fashion or style they kept their rock ´n´ roll alive by shaping it to perfection and not giving in for any compromises. If theyâve not penned the classics themselves they find a way of covering other songs and dress them up in a swagger thatâs refreshingly new.
Like the first single Travellinâ Lightâ from their upcoming album âA Stiff Oneâ (Sound Pollution/Wild Kingdom)
The pre pop hymn from 1958 was Cliff Richards second single and surely helped him to keep his star shining. When The Refreshments put their teeth into the song they instantly makes it roll the way it always should have. From the almost devilish twang of the riff to the sticking chorus they put their heart and soul in the song like it was their very own.
Many would say itâs a brave single 2023 but I wouldnât be surprised if Quentin Tarantino instantly will fall in love with it and use it as the theme for his next film.
I guess you can call it blues, country or soul but Iâd call it rock ´n´ roll and The Refreshments know exactly how to cherish the legacy.
