"SOS" Geir & Jarle covers ABBA

[Geir]

Finally the Alfsen brother got together for another recording session. Since it's 70s fest now we had to do a song from a long time favourite group of ours. Even tho it's a Swedish group it's still rather good, and their songs hold up very well even today.

SOS

w/m:Björn Ulvaeus,Benny Andersson,Stig Anderson
Geir : guitars, bass, lead vocals, backing vocals, cello (Thumbjam) and organ (Garageband)
Jarle : Drums and backing vocals

fmgwabp, great cover!

I was never a big ABBA fan, but I had a crush on those ladies and enjoyed several of the band's hits: they certainly could write and perform a good pop song. You guys brought back those times in your cover, except I like your version better! The TJ cello really added the right feel.

Wow! This is fantastic. The performance, arrangement, and production are first class. I'll be listening to this one a lot.

[Redler]

Great version of the Abba classic!! Agree with 64; everything is top class on this!! Thumbjam cello sounds so fine!!

A Bloddy Brilliant Arrangement!!!

It all sounded great to me, ABBA did some goods tunes, this is probably one of the best.

Thumbjam is working a treat!!!

Wow! This is fantastic. The performance, arrangement, and production are first class. I'll be listening to this one a lot.

+1 - Stunning! Your vocal style on this are reminiscent of Per Gessle (Roxette - brilliant songs, brilliant singers) - bloody excellent vocals, absolutely love it!

oh my oh my. a great song done by a great couple of great guys and great musicians.

i hated abba, was a punk thing i spose, so couldn't even listen to them at the time. then i heard danny wilson cover knowing me knowing you. since hearing that i have gone on to be a big abba fan. and i think benny and bjorn are two fabulous song writers.

so two of my favourite swedes covered by two of my favourite norwegians, it doesn't get any better than that.

I remember hearing this on one of my daughter's movie soundtracks, and I think you guys really nailed it Geir.
Love those backing vocals man.

That production is really good.
That cello is real cool too. I'm gonna have to look into that Thumbjam thingy.

[Hook]

This is incredibly inspiring, my brothers, who just happen to be brothers...my brother brothers!
What an amazing arrangement, so faithful yet so original, I am completely in awe!
Rock on, fest on, Fan On!
