Did you know that Cat Stevens was Swedish? Actually, you can't have ‘known’ that, either before or now, because it's not true. (Call it ‘fake news’, if you want to be voguish.) But Stevens' mother was Swedish, and Cat – aka Yusuf Islam – has lived in Sweden. Both of which facts guitar team Ulf and Eric Wakenius mention in relation to their cover of his track (also covered by Ronan Keating, you will recall) ‘Father and Son’, which obviously appealed to Ulf and Eric for other reasons too since, not only are they Swedish, they are also father and son… Wakenius senior, of course, has had a storied career, from his time in the Oscar Peterson Quartet to collaborations with the likes of Pat Metheny and Michael Brecker. Wakenius junior grew up with electric guitar but has since fallen, like his father before him, for the pleasures of the unplugged instrument. What this four-handed picking machine seem most ardently to want to prove here is that the acoustic knows no stylistic boundaries: so they give us a bit of The Beatles (‘Eleanor Rigby’), alongside folk and traditional (‘Scarborough Fair’, ‘Irish Vagabond’), jazz-fusion (‘Birdland’) and flamenco crossed with Hot Club swing (‘Paco's Delight’). And Eric's vocal on the title track was enough to make this reviewer at least consider shedding a sentimental tear. At once wide-ranging and intimate, it's a charming set.
