Great lyrics.  Great guitar fills.  Love the voice overs and especially that chanting!  Add a lot of atmosphere to the song!  Excelling at story telling again Trond, well done buddy!

Siiiiiick! Gunslinger music for the win. We've got one of those too ;)

QUE INTERPRETACION Y AL FIN ENCUENTRO UN GRAN INTERPRETE DE CONTRY PARA MI LISTA

enjoyed this.  definite soundtrack potential here.  nice americana/western feel here.

A country&western story-teller song with lyrics  like a stereotyped western movie script. This is a movie genre I like very much. I'm seeing Clint Eastwood in his prime as the best candidate for playing Colbet Jones if this was a movie. ;-)

Ballad Of Colbert Jones by Trond Inge Halten (new edit)

Hello! Welcome friends! 
So happy to celebrate 50 K plays of my songs here on SoundCloud! Many of my tracks can now be downloaded (for free).
I am a singer-songwriter from Trondheim, Norway. I have written and performed music for more than 30 years. I write music&lyrics across a lot of genre and styles but seem to favour country, blues, jazz and singer-songwriter pop music. 

In May 2013 I started recording my music for the first time. I was lucky enough to come across a great sound engineer and producer, Robert Mære at Toppen Lydstudio, and I made a deal with him for recording and producing 25 of my songs. Next lucky strike was that the legendary "Guitar God" Toralf Lund came on board the project. He really set the standard! Although I play some guitar myself, I at once realized that Toralf should be the main guitarist on this project. :-) So I went on to hand pick really high standard musicians, alongside some of my talented family members and good friends. The third really lucky strike was the piano/keyboard player Steffen Flasnes. He plays ALL piano/keyboard on the whole project. What a versatile and talented young man! 
The end result is much better than I expected. Many thanks to you all! 
After several months of editing and cutting and producing and mastering we are getting close to releasing the music.

I sing all male vocals/choir myself (with one exception: the bass vocal on A place called Hell) and play both tenor and alto saxophone (all sax except Keep my motor running). I also play some harmonica and blues harp on the project. 

All songs&lyrics are originals written by myself. And I'm arranging and do the instrumentation.  I have also co-produced everything together with Robert Mære.
  
Thank you for listening! I hope you will find at least one song that you really like among all the different songs I have recorded and produced so far! And if so please let me know! :-)
