     It's not really possible to go wrong with either of Hoven
Droven's two albums: _Hia Hia_ and _Grov_.  It's not really
possible to go wrong with any of Garmarna's or Hedningarna's
albums either.  I'd recommend Hedningarna's _Trä_ CD, and then
_Kaksi!_.  The new one _Karelia Visa_ has gotten excellent
reviews, but I've yet to hear it.
     With Garmarna ... tough choice between _Guds spelemän_
or the new _Vedergällningen_.  Both excellent.  _Vitrad_ is
quite good as well, if a little less adventurous.

Cheers,
Carl
