He has such a great voice, even now when it has rusted a bit.

EDIT: As for the rap bit, I think it was always connected. The blues roots are there underneath in most hip-hop, but somehow, and that is interesting, young people has to reinvent the whole thing. Ringström had a need to find music for himself, my daughter was for many years an art hater, and only found her ground in Japanese manga (which I love and actually introduced her to). There is something about the change in generations that is very obvious in music. I sometimes take myself in thinking, when talking to younger people, what is all the fuzz about with this or that artist? it is just this and that older artist on a new bottle. And then I remember older people saying to us: Prince is just Hendrix, Clinton, Brown combined with Little Richard's look. They were right of course, but few in my generation listened to Jimi Hendrix .
