Review by Robert Ashmun

The album Amatörerna Spelar Gammeltjoa by Amatörerna is a delightful compilation of traditional Swedish folk tunes. The group, whose name translates to "amateurs," brings an authentic and charming quality to the music, showcasing their love and respect for the genre.

The album features a range of instruments, including the fiddle, accordion, and guitar, with each member of the group taking turns to lead the melody. The arrangements are simple, yet effective, and allow the beauty of the melodies to shine through.

One standout track is "Polska efter Nils Agenmark," which features a lively fiddle tune that is sure to get listeners tapping their feet. Another highlight is "Kjell Lönnå," where the accordion takes center stage, creating a haunting and evocative atmosphere.
