The organ & drums duo Hansson & Karlsson jammed with Hendrix during his visits in Sweden. Hendrix enjoyed their song Tax Free so much that he recorded his own version which can be heard on the posthumous album War Heroes. Bo Hansson also reached some international commercial success in the 70's with his musical interpretations of J R R Tolkien's The Lord Of The Rings.
