"Only if you persist" by Eugene Russell Hendrix

Folk is the new craze. Once again.
But Eugene Russell Hendrix released this album in 1979 and since then it's been a classic to all folk fans. It's been copied a lot but never equaled.
There were a lot of parodies of the album sleeve and there were a lot of mock up songs, but Eugene Russell Hendrix will always be considered as a true talent with a genuine feeling for folk songs.
Such a shame he only released this one album. Although he toured for some more years, he said goodbye to music in 1988. It's been said that he never touched a guitar since then.
Treasure this album .

"The first half" by Gimme

She just turned seventeen and loves to write her own songs. And I must admitt that her sweet and simple songs on her debut album "The first half" have a certain charm to them. Only... 18 songs is a bit much with so few variation. All of the songs on this album sound a bit alike. Gimme is surely a talent, but she needs some direction.

I've been cheating a bit on this sleeve: to get a more dramatic effect I turned the picture 45 degrees counter clockwise... now it looks like the girl is coming out of a waterfall... Any comments?

"Later in life" by Georg Suckow

"Nostalgia" is the only word that sums up this melancholic collection of cover songs. It's all very tasteful and exquisitely done. But I miss a bit of energy. Georg Suckow is an excellent singer with a fantastic voice but sometimes he sounds a bit too sweet. 

But for all fans of old songs from the American songbook this is a wonderfull collection.
