Uncensored Folk Music of Austria

by UNCENSORED FOLK MUSIC OF AUSTRI

Overview

Quite why this collection has "Uncensored" in the title is debatable -- possibly because a few of the songs are salacious. Otherwise, this material, recorded between 1967 and 1988 as field recordings rather than in a studio, offers a very full panoply of Austrian folk music, with the exception of Vorarlberg. There's the Original Heberstein Trio, with clarinet, accordion, and hammered dulcimer, who add plenty of yodeling to their songs, and Fefi Eibisberger, whose singing is that of the female cow herders, a very old singing style. Naturally, there's a little oompah music from the Familie Buchbauer, who mix accordion and tuba, and plenty of polkas as well as, surprisingly, the harp. It wouldn't be Austria without more yodeling, and Anna Gratz supplies that in remarkable style. There are also some unusual instruments, such as Karl Scherrer's xylophone of hollowed bricks and his glockenspiel constructed from grenade shells, along with plenty of zither and accordion work. It's not a collection for everyone, but the Arhoolie label never releases anything that's not interesting, and these field recordings do give a real sense of the heart of Austrian folk music. ~ Chris Nickson
