One of Norway's most talented songwriters with an incredible string of great texts and songs to his name is now releasing a new record. This time he is performing together with the vocal group Blåtur with its four female and three male singers. Under their musical leader Bjørn Holum, Blåtur weaves a funky, rhythmic, vocal backdrop for Jan Eggum's voice and guitar. The CD Alle gjør det features 10 brand new songs by Eggum offering glimpses into a world of stretched, selfish and totally abandoned morals. These highly entertaining vignettes are served against such a world-weary, decadent backdrop that Eggum's appealing music, irony and sharp wit open our eyes to the world around us.

In Norwegian, Blåtur means a trip with an unknown destination, or a trip into the wild blue yonder, which is where Eggum whisks us right from the first track on this new CD, produced by Håkon Iversen. On this CD voices dominate as the only instrumentation is percussion and Eggum's guitar. Many of the songs have a playful drive that will appeal to your dancing feet, but there are also passionate ballads like the moving "Når en hedning feirer jul" (When a Pagan Celebrates Christmas). 

This is vintage Eggum. It feels familiar but new, but most of all, these magnificent songs will stay with you.
