When he was four years old, his parents split up and he continued to live with his mother. He claimed that as a child he was taught to play the guitar by K. C. Douglas, who worked at his grandfather's garage, and later realised that he had been taught the blues. [7] Douglas wrote the song " Mercury Blues" and had played with Tommy Johnson in the early 1940s. [17] His mother remarried, to a Korean War veteran who Wold characterized as abusive, and, at the age of about 13, Wold claimed that he left home following a violent confrontation with his stepfather.

Wold has five adult sons, [6] and has married twice, marrying his second wife in the early 1980s. [6] Wold has said that he has problems putting down roots in one place, and he and his wife have lived in 59 houses to date, including Norway and the United Kingdom. [6] After returning to the US, he trained as a paramedic, [34] before moving with his wife and their three sons from Nashville, Tennessee, to Olympia, near Seattle, in 1991. [35] The move was partly motivated by Elisabeth Wold's desire to live in an area reminiscent of her native Norway, but also reflected the area's developing indie music scene. [6] In Olympia, Wold established his own guitar store and recording studio, Moon Music. [33] He was acquainted with Kurt Cobain, and began producing records by local musicians, including Kathleen Hanna and Fitz of Depression. [33] Wold produced the 1996 debut album by Modest Mouse, This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About, [36] and recordings by the band P.E.Z. on which he played guitar. He also worked closely with a local band, the Tremens, and with them started to form a band, Dr Steel and the Forty-nines, with himself as singer and lead guitarist, but this fell through. A 2001 interview with the Tremens described Wold as a " Pacific Northwest music icon... who has put his recording stamp on some of the most influential bands to come out of Puget Sound." [25] In an interview with an Australian magazine, Wold attributed much of his unlikely success to his cheap and weather-beaten guitar, "The Trance Wonder" and reveals the guitar's mojo might come from supernatural sources.Le Top de la semaine: Top Albums Fusionnes - SNEP (Week 41, 2016)" (in French).
