The Wayward Souls "Songs Of Rain And Trains" 1986

Another classic Swedish garage rock gem from swinging 1986!More fodder for my 1980s nostalgia from this Swedish band The Wayward Souls. Notably inspired by the Barracudas'& Fleshtones potent blend of garage and folk-rock, these Svensk rockers issued the great Painted Dreams LP (same label, same year) before fizzling out with a bit overproduced follow-up. Swedish bands still rule in 2006, but where are the new Wayward Souls, Playmates or Watermelon Men?

The Wayward Souls:
Jonas Engberg-6&12 string guitar, voc / Johnny Asp-bass,guitar, piano, organ / Per Ahlén-voc & tambourine, Hank Fagerstedt-drums & tambourine, voc / Eva Sonesson-voc

traxfromwax:
1. Angels Of Glory 2. Boots And Saddle 3. Red Parade 4. For Better, For Worse 5. Travelin' On 6. The Escape Train 7. New Hard Times Are Coming 8. Vow Of Silence 9. My Wild Rose 10. Song For My Lady

Thanks for the W'Souls, it's a great band.

montymusic and Caradist,
thanks a lot for "Inner Grooves"! I will post it soon on the main page!

Thanks so much for the Wayward Souls.

Will monitor the Grip Weeds posts and if I have anything you don't post will ping you RYP with details. Likely two singles and a radio set from 1992 plus their Influence of Christmas lp from 2011. Unsure if anything else. Known these folks for years. Besides being supurb musicians, they're wonderful people.

As for your '06 start, 2 Bo Diddley lps. Impressed!
