Flyin' High (part 2) (2:36) Same information as track 1 *) Only available on this full album edition This is the fourth Mutherpluckin' B album, featuring music recorded in Uppsala, Sweden, between 2006 and 2014. It began life as an outtakes ”odds and sods” sort of record, a way to bring together tracks that had been left behind or released (semi-)officially in different places on the internet. With the addition of several new songs, a million overdubs and – for the first time – a small host of guest musicians, it turned into a whole Mutherpluckin' B ”White Album”. I hope you will enjoy its disparate array of songs! Mutherpluckin' B – electric and acoustic guitars, electric bass, percussion, drum soundfonts, other software synthesizers and soundfonts, arranging, production, mixing, mastering, sleeve drawings and layout, blah blah blah, pretty much everything except the stuff done by the wonderful people below. In order of appearance: Thomas "Hyde209" Myrberg – digital drums (track 5) and Las Vegas voice (15) Anna Bergström – fiddle (5, 7, 15) Johannes Holmberg – ukulele (8) David Jonsson – banjo (8) Andreas ”KGS” Lindmark – organ solo (10), piano solo (15) Christofer Bäcklin – tenor and baritone saxophones (15) Track 12 contains voice samples of the fabulous ”Rasta guide” of the Bob Marley Foundation, Jamaica. Several other samples are from freesound.org and random sources. Sleeve photos by Jesper Lundgren The sleeve illustrations are based on the 1939 photograph ”Country store on a dirt road” from Gordonton, North Carolina, by Dorothea Lange.
