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 & Karlsson.

Great! I'm sure you won't be dissapointed (although nothing beats the Lotr-record)

Yes, I would suggest Magician's hat aswell, alot of the songs there are apparently songs that didn't make it into the LotR-album, which you can probably understand when seeing some of the names of the songs. :)

I'd never heard of him; I found his LotR 12" for £2 in a second hand record shop, and so far it has been my chance discovery of '09. Which album to get next?

Yes, there's not much justice in the world, when I met him he seemed pretty run-down, so it wouldn't surprise me if he's still struggling. It's a shame, brilliant artists like Bo Hansson are poor, while useless artists who don't even write their own music are rich. Very sad.
