This album is a 2004 remix of the 1998 album Courtstone Blues. It came together with a book Hoffsten released that year. It includes some versions of old blues classics as well as her own compositions. In typical Hoffsten-style she mixes rock, pop and blues, sometimes it sounds really good but here and there it gets a bit boring and too poppy but that's just her style that so many people in Sweden like about her. She always have feeling in her music, singing and playing though. The bassist Backa Hans Eriksson has played with many many Swedish artists since the 1970's.
