Nisse Hellberg - En Modern Man (2009)

New record from the frontman of Wilmer X. Hellberg is keeping to the more bluesy style of his previous solo records. Typical tracks from this artist but unfortunately, I find this too much laidback. There are a couple of good tracks including "Den står där du ställt den" but in some places, it only sounds lack a poor version of the Buckaroos' rockabilly. The record has received good opinions all over the place and it seems that I'm the only one who lacks Wilmer X with their more aggressive and "pushy" guitar driven style. Since I'm always have extremely high expectations on Hellberg I'm disappointed on this record. What a pity!
