Biography

Going in the tracks of Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, Lundell acquired an unequaled position as the singer and songwriter and rock poet in Sweden during the '70s and '80s. His importance waned in the '90s, but his name kept the glow of old rock stars. While overshadowing most Swedish groups at home, he was almost totally unknown abroad, probably largely due to him singing in Swedish, playing in a tradition where lyrics are central. Since the mid-'70s he also kept up a successful career as a writer, and while his importance in that area is not as big, the debut novel -Jack actually got much more attention than the debut record. Lundell was born 1949 in Stockholm in a working class home. 1966 he failed to graduate, bought his first guitar and started to jump between numerous jobs. One of the few he kept for a longer time was as a postman. He started to write and record his own songs and got a few gigs as an entertainer at local bars, while sending tapes to various record companies.
