Groovy and Wild!!!

A friend told me about an amazing gospel style pianist who played with Elvis Presley for awhile. It's Per-Erik Hallin!!

From "MySpace.com":
Per-Erik Hallin was born January 7 1950. He moved to the US in the 70's, and played with Elivs for about 1 year. For the last 30 years he's lived in Sweden. He's recorded 2 solo albums (Better late than never, Morgonluft), and a 3rd album was scheduled for 2007, but has been delayed due to problems with tinnitus. He's worked with many swedish artists, such as Carola, Cyndee Peters, Ulf Lundell, Ted Gärdestad, Magnus Uggla, Mikael Rickfors, Ola Magnell, Ingemar Olsson.

Here is his song, Nothing to Fear! It's totally wild. He even plays something that sounds like tone clusters with his right hand. The rhythm is so infectious, it just makes you want to dance down the street! See if you don't agree!!
