Description

Sulo Karlsson is well known as the frontman of Swedish glam boogie rockers Diamond Dogs and lead
singer in the UK Punk supergroup The Crunch, that features members from The Clash, Sham 69 &
Cockney Rejects. But he's also probably the most productive and creative singer/songwriter in modern
time. He has been writing and releasing 5 albums (yep, 5) per year since 2008 for himself and other
artists in almost any genre. Punk, Pop, Soul, Country and Rock n Roll it doesn't matter, Sulo is literally
everywhere! If last years gifted Rock n Roll album 'Sulo's Full English', contained 19 tracks with guest
performances from Chris Spedding, Wilko Johnson, Robert Wyatt etc was impressive, Sulo has
managed to top that. This double deal is a songwriter at the top of his game. 'Night Shift' is a dark,
melancholy almost acoustic ride into the depths of the soul. With naked, strong and sometimes painful
lyrics on abed of blue coloured melodies, Sulo manages to create a new musical landscape. He says
"It's a musical diary of the things that keeps you awake at night, a study of the darkness within". 'Brilliant
Outsiders' is Sulo's most ambitious work so far. Together with producer Kevin Porée he has written and
recorded 13 country duets. It all started with the song 'Constant Reminder', written and recorded at
Berry Street studio in London before recording the vocals with duet partner Maria McKee in LA. Then
followed a musical journey around the world, London, Stockholm, Los Angeles, Nashville, Florida and
more. The line-up of duet partners is extraordinary with Janis Ian, Terry Reid, Bellamy Brothers, Linda
Gail Lewis (Jerry Lee's sister), Paul Young and more. Backed up by the UK's finest Country band
Los Pacaminos including Jamie Moses (Queen, Tom Jones Band), Hamish Stuart (Average White Band,
Paul McCartney etc). The two albums together are an amazing collection of songs. 27 tracks with such
high quality music and lyrics that you can't help wonder how it's possible. A double album for the lonely
nights, early mornings and the long drive home.
