Sub titled Live in Stockholm with Special Guest Sven Zetterberg, this was recorded on a Wednesday night, March 25th, 1992, at Restaurant Kaos in Stockholm. This Swedish band lists the highly acclaimed, late bluesman Sven Zetterberg as a special guest. This is true; he doesn’t just sit in on one or two numbers but is a featured player on every track. Zetterberg’s singing, guitar and harmonica playing are imbedded into these recordings like the snowpack on Mount Stortoppen. As far as the sound quality of these live recordings is concerned, it is extremely adequate, if not exceptional. The song selection at first glance seems overly pedestrian and shop worn, yet the band delivers exciting performances with subtle nuanced readings of blues standards such as Caledonia, I Got My Mojo Working, Tin Pan Alley and others. The Deputies are essentially Zetterberg’s back-up band on Blues Time. They are: guitarist Jyrki Juvonen, Anders Thomasson on bass and Anders Alberg on drums. They conjure up a sound that might put listeners in mind of 50’s era Sun Records recordings which fit Zetterberg’s blues sensibilities like a pair of Bjorn Borg’s tennis shorts. This live performance is poignant as it puts listeners in an intimate live setting which at this point we so desperately miss and want to be able to return to very soon.
