Maggie Björklund - Coming Home

Maggie Björklund - Danish "mistress of the pedal steel" steps out of the shadows with her solo debut (released in Europe in '09), half instrumental, half featuring nicely-chosen guest vocals from Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, the Gutter Twins), Jon Auer (Posies, Big Star) and Rachel Flotard (Vizqueen) // Release: Coming Home (March 22, Bloodshot) // Quote: "A rich, reverby, pedal-steel tinged landscape that sounds like the Twin Peaks soundtrack dubbed over a psychedelic spaghetti western." - Seattle Weekly // Sounds like: a lingering dream image..."the sound after a gunfight"...something particularly spacious and lonely about the drifting sound of a pedal steel // What we like: Lanegan's gravelly, perfectly matched vocals on the title track...the soft flamenco guitar behind the haunting instrumental "Wasteland"...
