Release Notes:

The 2005 Sounds of the Underground festival tour was about as decidedly
?un-funky? as they come. Equally put off by the lack of anything remotely ?in a
pocket?, Per Wiberg of Opeth and Jean-Paul Gaster of Clutch set up shop outside
the bus trailers and sent an open invitation to any like-minded musicians.
Shortly thereafter, they commenced to fill the void. All told, this happed only
a few times, but when it did, great spontaneous jams were pulled from the
aether. They were a sorely needed respite from days crammed full with blast
beats and monster howls. The good times, however, would inevitably come to a
halt when a participant would insist upon ?shredding? or ?wailing?. This was not
the spirit of said jams. The credo was ?get funky or get out?.

Seeking to further reap the rewards only found in that spontaneity, Wiberg
gathered a group of friends in a rented house in Falun, Sweden. It was somewhat
of a leap of faith in that the session would rely primarily on the collective
writing and recording of one week?s time. But considering whom Per had
assembled, there was plenty of reason to be confident. Thomas Juneor Andersson
(Kamchatka) on guitar and vocals, Ulf Rockis Ivarsson (Beat Under Control,
countless sessions), Eric Oblander (Five Horse Johnson) harp on ?Leaving Letter
Blues?, Tomas Agnas on sax for ?Mr. Clean?, Jean-Paul Gaster (Clutch, The
Bakerton Group) on drums, and finally Wiberg on vocals, keys, and guitar.

Prior to the session, Wiberg sketched out a few ideas and Andersson had hummed a
tune to him over the phone. But other than that, the session was an honest blank
slate. It was recorded together live as a whole by Roberth Ekholm. This was not
an easy task. The studio was wired into a rented vacation home populated by
musicians who love beer in equal measure to music. When all was said and done,
the group banged out a full-length album of merciless blues, funk, and rock and
roll. Two covers made the cut, ?Running?, written by Curtis Mayfield, and a
stellar Freddie Hubbard version of Weldon Irvine?s classic ?Mr. Clean?. The
album documents one week in Sweden when a small gathering traveling musicians
threw their ingredients into the collective cauldron, enjoyed the meal, and then
departed as quickly as they had come. For this reason, they call the group, and
its debut release, King Hobo.
