Waterloo
I know this is not going to work, but this is my first try so here it goes.
This track is by the Swedish country band called Nashville Train, from the mid 70s lp “ABBA Our Way.” You guessed it, it’s an all country ABBA cover band: that is, country music by Swedes. Swedes who think ABBA songs need to be country songs.
[deep breath] OK, so here is Waterloo, a song we all know and love, right? Now before you freak and write in begging for more, I can promise you, this is the best track on the record.
The cover art has a bunch of Swede-dorks standing on the cow-catcher of a locomotive engine. They’re all wearing coveralls and other “cowboy” get-up, and blonde hair and beards, very “dirty and scruffy.”
I bet this is the only commitment to mp3 this vinyl has ever had anywhere in the world. Enjoy.
