Album Information
Being a typical Benny Anderssons Orkester album, "BAO 3" (the title indicates that it's the third BAO album) includes many different musical styles, ranging from Swedish folk music to pop, jazz, classical tunes and viennese influences. The album is officially credited to "Benny Anderssons Orkester, Helen Sjöholm & Tommy Körberg", indicating that it also includes several tracks with vocals. In fact, compared to its studio predecessor, BAO! in 2004, the amount of vocals tracks has increased. No less than seven out of the 12 tracks on the album are sung by either Helen Sjöholm or Tommy Körberg or as a duet. Tommy Körberg can be heard on a BAO studio album for the first time, after already appearing together with the group during their tours and also lending vocals to two tracks on Benny Andersson's two solo albums from the 1980s, Klinga mina klockor and November 1989.
As usual, most of the lyrics were written by Benny's former ABBA partner Björn Ulvaeus, while all the music was composed by Benny Andersson himself.
"BAO 3" was recorded in Sveriges Radios Studio 5 and Atlantis Studio, both in Stockholm, during 2007. Like all Benny Anderssons Orkester albums, it was engineered by Bernard Löhr und subsequently mixed by him and Benny Andersson at Mono Music Studio.

“What a long strange trip it’s been.”
—Robert Hunter, U.S. rock lyricist. “Truckin’,” on the Grateful Dead album American Beauty (1971)
“I have all my life been on my guard against the information conveyed by the sense of hearing—it being one of my earliest observations, the universal inclination of humankind is to be led by the ears, and I am sometimes apt to imagine that they are given to men as they are to pitchers, purposely that they may be carried about by them.”
—Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)
