Lead singer Mats Rådberg has a very good voice. In my humble opinion this is the best version of the song. It entered the Swedish chart list in March 1970.

I so agree with you.I have loved their version for many years now.

Great version of the fantastic Gordon Lightfood's "Early morning rain". Today I noticed how many great versions exists around the globe of this tune. Some got a real good feeling and some are just unbelievable, like this. I've never heard of this group & it's a pity no radio station plays such never seen songs!

Förutom Country Road, så var de ett av de bästa countrybanden i Sverige!

Would have made millions in Nashville.

Det var Bobby Ahl på banjo, Jan Sander på fiol, Kjell Wanselius på bas, Anders Rådberg på mandolin och Anders lillebror Mats som spelade gitarr och stod för solosången.

Lennart Karlsmyr kom med först senare efter splittringen "Rankarna" och "New Strangers"

I was 16 in 1970 and I love this song and its version, it was a number one in my personal chart then. I agree with "anser jag vara den bästa svenska countryinspelningen nånsin" .

De var bra --för att vara svenska!
