Picking on the porch…or murky kitchen stoop, actually.
New album pretty much mixed & ready. Very satisfied with the results and hoping it will be out before Christmas!
More news on that soon…
After a couple of silent – but not idle – months, it’s time to start playing out again. First out is Café Hängmattan, Stockholm on April 14th.
Recorded three new songs for my next cd (hopefully out this year) during this time, “High & Low”, “The Turning Of The Tides”, “Last Of The Hobos” and will be going back into the studio again soon. Too many songs! Selecting the ones that are to go on the album will be hell…
Efter vinterdvalan är det dags att börja spela ute igen, med början på Café Hängmattan, Stockholm, den 14 april.
Har dock inte varit overksam. Spelade in tre nya låtar (se ovan) för ett tag sen och snart är det dags för några till.
Med lite tur etc. kommer en ny cd i år…
…blir på Café Hängmattan, Södermannagatan 10, Stockholm, lördag 17/12, ca. kl. 20. Välkomna!
STRANGE LAND
In the garden of love
And the garden of hate
Another stranger down
In the body count
Some feel like they’ve been found
Some feel lost
I feel like fire and ice
Goin’ down on the black bayou
Gonna see the gris-gris man
Gonna turn my mind around
Take a trip to a strange land
Your political means
And the howling wolves
Wave your money around
Can’t hear the calling ground
Some feel…
Say reality bites
Sharp teeth, hard eyes
Say that blues run the game
One thing that remains
Some feel…

Kinda funny, kinda true…
-Too many dead nights in here. Thinkin’ maybe live music. Upside and a downside to it, though.
-What’s the downside?
-Musicians.
Treme, “Everything I Do Gonh Be Funky”
Playing in the shade of the big whispering tree at the wonderful Visby International Singer/Songwriter Festival, July 2nd, 2011. I also got to play guitar on a couple of songs with my friend singer-songwriter Markus Rill during his very good set later in the evening.
All you need is…a Martin guitar, spare Guild, Vox amp, Shure mic and a capo. Soundchecking at Kafé Klavér in Stockholm, June 11th, 2011
This song is definitely going on my next album…probably minus the slightly off-kilter conga! Lyrics posted below.
