First of all legendary Steel guitarist BJ Cole added his Klein 12 string steel guitar to the song "Heim i natt"

Sting described BJ Cole as the best pedal steel player in the world.

In a career stretching back to the mid-Sixties BJs recording credits read like a Who's Who of rock music, to name a few: Elton John, Marc Bolan, Sting, Robbie Williams, REM, Bjork, Jerry Lee Lewis, Shania Twain, The Verve, Depeche Mode, Beck, Elvis Costello, Deacon Blue, David Gilmour, David Gray, Groove Armada, Emmyloo Harris, Jools Holland, KD Lang, Moody Blues, Pet Shop Boys, Robert Plant, Squeeze, The Stranglers, Scott Walker.

BJ has carved a reputation as the supreme innovator with his instrument, a unique talent in adapting and pushing the pedal steel across numerous genres of music.

 Also we are proud to have  world class trumpeter and ECM recording artist Arve Henriksen on the album

He has worked with many musicians familiar to ECM listeners, including Jon Balke (with whose Magnetic North Orchestra he has played extensively), Anders Jormin, Edward Vesala, Jon Christensen, Marilyn Mazur, Audun Kleive, Nils Petter Molvær, Misha Alperin, Arkady Shilkloper, Arild Andersen, Stian Carstensen, Dhafer Youssef, Hope Sanduval, the Cikada String Quartet, The Source and more. He has played in many different contexts, bands and projects, ranging from working with koto player Satsuki Odamura, to the rock band Motorpsycho via numerous free improvising groups with Ernst Reisiger, Sten Sandell, Peter Friis-Nilsen, Terje Isungset, Marc Ducret ,Karl Seglem et cetera. Today he is working with Supersilent, Christian Wallumrod Ensemble and Trygve Seim Ensemble.

On January 20-23 we recorded the backing tracks , We hired Eirik Bekkeheien and his mobile rig and camped at Farsund resort for the weekend, the makeshift studio was put up in the Barn/conference center . It worked very well both sonicly and gave the  musicians a pleasant sorounding  to work in.

The band Consisted of Trond Augland on drums, Kjell Martin Sirnes on percussions, John Lilja on bass and me on aditional guitars. Vidar Arntzen did most guitars and Rebecca Reimers sang.

At the moment i am adding stuff to the mix .

After checking different options Ive decided to go abroad with the actual mixing of the album. We are so lucky that the great John Whynot  In Los angeles liked  what he heard and are mixing tracks when i write this.

Whynot is one of the top mixers/Producers from Canada and has worked  on some of my favourite albums by artist like Bruce Cockburn, Blue rodeo, Blackie And the rodeo kings (check him out here:  http://www.mgmtrust.ca/producers/70.html )

This week I had the pleasure to team up with Øyvind Berekvam & Erlend Aasland for an evening dedicated to Slide & steelguitar at the Library in Stavanger.

We played  and told the history of slide guitar from Joseph Kekuku to Daniel Lanois and just about everything inbetween.

I filled up my car with sliderelated instruments from a Diddely Bow to the Pedal steel, ...

Hovering Orville or Birger Bekkehei ( as his mother calls him) helped out on vocals on Gram Parsons "Hickory Wind" and on the yet-to-be released Kaizers Orchestra song "Hjerteknuser"
