Cherry trees are still in blossom

"While most re-recordings fail to match the impact of the original versions, this is a rare exception that proves the rule. While the notable samples [due to licensing issues] are missing from iconic songs such as "Black Cab" and "Pocketful of Money" (which sampled Beat Happening's "Gravedigger Blues"), not much else has changed and given that these versions were perfect to begin with, that is a great thing. Simply put, these versions are stunning as the now 41 year old Lekman is able to inhabit the spirit of his early 20s effortlessly. This will convert skeptical older fans such as this writer who are used to the original version of the album and perhaps make new fans of his work as well ... Whether one considers this a new work or a reissue, this is easily one of 2022's finest albums. Wow".
