“III” is the third solo album from Silverback and is released on the 16th May 2024. Once again the album consists of twelve songs, of which one is a cover. The genres are mainly jazz oriented, seasoned with soul/ gospel and traditional styles.
About the album
Most of the songs are new, but some were composed for Ronny Coolcat Band and one is from the “Den Onde Greven“-album. The old songs have new arrangements, are remixed and remastered. Except for “Guljakkevise”, all lyrics are in English. As a novelty, Arne Aalen joins us from beyond with a “guest” appearance on said song.
All the music and lyrics are written by Petter, with the exception of “The Entertainer”, which is a cover song written by Scott Joplin.
Recording, mix and production are done by Petter/ Silverback.
