Inside World Music, CD Review >>
By MATTHEW FORSS
The traditional folk music of Germany is reinvented with the sounds of 17 Hippies. Their release, Heimlich, is a collection of original compositions and incorporates the sounds of Klezmer, gypsy, jazz, Russian, Latin, classical, country, folk, and bluegrass. Every track is a different musical journey, but all follow in the same path. If the band’s name came from the number of instruments they play, that number would be well above 17. Some of the instruments included are sax, Jew’s harp, harmonium, oboe, bouzouki, ukulele, violin, trumpet, banjo, accordion, kalimba and others. Some of the songs contain contemplative elements of a soundtrack quality. Vocals are in English, German, and French. Liner notes include lyrics in English, German and/or French. Interestingly, Heimlich, which means “covert”, will not be a secret for very long! Sing on! 04/20/08 >> go there
