The Lost Sessions - song by song
The atmospheric gem of Randy Newma'sn Feels Like Home was originally composed for the musical Faust, where it was sung by Bonnie Raitt. It was later recorded by Linda Ronstadt with Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton on the album Trio II. But when it was played on BBC Radio in England in November, it was in Ulrika Beijer's version.
Live Here With You by the songwriting couple Gilbert Slavin / Neil Michael Goldberg was recorded in 1971 by Dusty Springfield for the album Faithfull, which, however, was not released until 44 years later (!) due to a dispute with the English singer's then record company.
Bob Dylan's and Willie Nelson's jointly composed gem Heartland was completed by Nelson based on Dylan's first sketch to be released on the album Across The Borderland in 1993.
Unchained is a song that was first heard on Johnny Cash's album American II, for which it was written by Jude Johnstone on the initiative of producer Rick Rubin.
Valentine's Day was written by Steve Earl for his album I Feel Alright released in 1996.
Comes a time is taken from Neil Young's album of the same name, the folk and country-inspired album that he recorded in the mid-seventies with the band Crazy Horse and the singer Nicolette Larson but was so disappointed that he himself bought 200,000 copies and used as a roof on his barn at home on the ranch! (Then he remixed the album, which was re-released).
Don’t You Think I Feel It Too is written by American country / singer-songwriter David Ball but was first released on record by Uncle Walt's Band.
Lay Down is written by Steve Earl's sister Stacey Earl from San Antonio, Texas. The original is more low-key than Ulrika Beijers, who in her interpretation introduces other values ​​into the song.
Angel from Montgomery is written by the late master John Prine but is best known in Bonnie Raitt's version. However, both versions have double-digit numbers of millions of gigs on Spotify!
When the album's executive producer Claes Olson at the MIDEM music fair in Cannes in January 2003 played a demo with Ulrika Beijer for some music professionals, a couple of them loved the singer's voice so much that they gave her the then still unreleased song When The Sugar Cane's Tall by Josh Caffery. Ulrika Beijer immediately took the song to heart and had it not been for the fact that the American cajun band Red Stick Ramblers recorded it in 2005, her version would have been the first to be released on record.
Steve Earls I'm Not Getting Better Better At Goodbyes first appeared on the promo CD Uncut Gems in 1994. Ulrika Beijer's recording has a very special place in her heart, as it was her accordion playing father John-Åke Karlsson's last recording before he passed away.
