It’s nice to finally get some songs recorded using the old instruments and equipment I’ve collected and restored over the years. Everyone sure had a fun time getting the dust off. Some of the instruments are pictured in this booklet, but there were even more obscure and vintage instruments and gadgets used when the recording was made. During the whole recording process analog equipment was used for almost everything. You can’t beat the real thing.
I wrote the songs, but the sound of the final recordings is a team effort. I’m grateful for the help we’ve got from Pelle Henricsson, he helped us arrange the tracks and gave the songs the drive they needed with his drums and percussion.
Mats Byström is the man. He plays three or four instruments on almost every tune. I’m happy to know such a great musician, give Mats something to play on and he will deliver.
My buddy Björn Sohlin plays his sparkling fiddle on a couple of the tunes.
A special thanks goes to Ulf Edlund who plays an amazing pedal steel/lap steel/dobro, Sofia Henricsson who added a woman’s touch to the recordings with her backing vocals and Eskil Lövström who played the trombone.
I was forced into center stage myself playing on my instruments. I tried to keep it simple. Mostly because I can’t do it any other way. Enjoy the songs!
