Swedish organist and Hammond master, born in 1943. Played with Janne Carlsson (aka Loffe Carlsson) in duo Hansson & Karlsson in the mid 70’s. Did several hours of recordings with Jimi Hendrix who much appreciated the humble swedish organist.
Bo Hansson is most famous for his solo records, Magician’s Hat, The Lord of the Rings, Attic Thoughts and Watership Down.
Bo Hansson is said to have donated his hammond organ (did he have only one?) to Eric Malmberg of Sagor & Swing, a band that have continued in the tradition of Hansson & Carlsson.

Fans need to listen to 'Music Inspired by Watership Down'. Nearly as good as Lord of the Rings.

I'm listening to my newly bought vinyl of "Sagan om ringen" right now. so good. I feel abit ashamed though, since I own 2 copies of it, and Bo himself doesn't even own the swedish version :D

I warmly recommend Björn Olsson's first album instrumental music to submerge to.. to anyone into Mr.Hansson. Heavily influenced by him including a couple of awkward rip-offs. Still much much better than the IMHO overrated Eric Malmberg & Sagor & Swing.

When I heard the intro of The Black Riders I get chills all over my body. The whole record is just horribly great.

Yeah, the LOTR-album is probably the most atmospheric thing ever made, atleast the most atmospheric album I've ever heard. The way it makes all the instruments sound like noises from unknown creatures.. it's just, great.

Hell yeah! The LOTR album is so amazingly atmospheric and beautiful. It takes me away every time.
