'Son of a Plumber' differs from Per Gessle's previous solo work in that it is a full band, where he is joined by Clarence Öfwerman on keyboards, Christoffer Lundquist on guitar, Jens Jansson on drums, and Helena Josefsson.
Per Gessle has described 'Son of a Plumber' as a very personal album (and project), dedicated to his father. In style the album is similar to The Beatles' White Album, with several references to the Beatles in the song lyrics.

We′re gonna have some fun tonight
We're gonna sing, shout, knock ourselves out
Everything′s gonna be alright (alright)
Now let the bassman start playin',
He's gonna come in right on time
He′s gonna add a beat to make you pat your feet
And he can say I like it like that (I like it like that)
I like it like that (I like it like that)
Oh, that's where it′s at and I like it like that
Now after a man finds hisself a woman
She doesn't have to be a beauty queen
And then she holds you tight, she makes you feel alright
Any man that I′ve ever seen

And the moment i saw you
You truly made an impact on me
It was wonderful
Right in that crowd
Oooh! my heart was pumpin?

Don´t you think he is such an under rated Song writer? Yes most people of the World knows his big radio ballads but I think he should be more famous as an solo artist and Song writer!
