Like a Friend Singing to Your Soul: Discovering Jon-Olov Woxlin

Today, our editorial team dove into Jon-Olov Woxlin’s album, “Obviously just like Robert Milkwood”—a piece of musical poetry that truly brought us a sense of comfort.

We entered this musical journey through “Where do I begin”, a tender track filled with folk and country melodies, carried by a soulful guitar and a harmonica that swept us away. We were deeply moved by the singer’s voice: endearing and warm, like a friend singing to share a piece of his soul and help heal our own. His vocals carry subtle blues hues and soothing tones—sincere, authentic, and deeply expressive.

Across its 14 tracks, the album shines with a rare simplicity—pure sincerity without artifice, created for the simple love of love and free expression. We love the ballad feel, which remains engaging and uplifting, as in “Feeling blue upon some hill”, where gentle mood meets a joyful, lively guitar.

Listening to it feels like traveling through his mind and vivid landscapes of fresh air and open nature, notably with “Traveling abroad”, which evokes a deep sense of belonging. Further along, “Talking Carmen Electra” reaches a magnificent dimension through its spoken-word delivery; he tells a story, recounting it with a theatrical momentum that completely draws us into his words.

This album is entirely his own—crafted through his words, his endearing energy, and a captivating harmonica that truly transports you. Press play:
