The Sound of Swedish Blues

“The Sound of Swedish Blues” digs into the rich, often underrated blues scene of Sweden, bringing together a wide range of artists who blend traditional American blues roots with local textures and Swedish lyrics. The playlist covers smoky, guitar-driven tunes like Rolf Wikström’s “Allt är gjort av plåt” and the soulful storytelling of Peps Persson’s “Oh boy,” showcasing the grit and spirit that drives the genre across borders.

With contributions from legends and newer faces alike, you'll find everything from the heartbreak of Totta & Hot'n'Tots' “Disappearing Nightly” to the high-energy swagger of Trickbag and Steve Weston’s “Do What You Want.” Whether the blues comes through in a back-alley growl or a harmonica-fueled jam, the mix spans electric blues, R&B-inflected grooves, and barroom rockers. It’s a solid snapshot of how the blues resonates through Swedish culture—raw, diverse, and still kicking.
