Johan Alm

The Lion’s Roar is a quality release, but due to the stand out tracks being placed at the front and the end, the middle section feels weaker than it is

The album is his most consistent and complete, finding room for singer-songwriter-type country, alt. country, harder rock and soul within a single record, while retaining a sense of direction and cohesiveness, as well as heart, soul and a satisfying emotional connection between artist and audience.
