BENNY ANDERSSON BAND - STORY OF A HEART

Still waiting in vain for that unlikely ABBA reunion? Why not console yourself instead with BAB - Benny from ABBA's other job, aside from being one of the world's richest musicians. This is actually a compilation of some of his Swedish albums, laced with a couple of new tunes in English. Best news of all is that he got his old ABBA buddy Björn to write the lyrics. Story Of A Heart, sung by Swedish star Helen Sjöholm, sound so much like an ABBA song that Agnetha and Frida must weep with envy every time they hear it. Although a lot of his heart wanders heavily into folk terrain, if you're an ABBA fan this makes for good listening.
