Album Details

This Record Will Do Just as Well. A Horribly Compelling Grab-bag of 70s Jukebox Hits Covered by South Texas Moravian, Bohemian and German Bar Bands. The Ellinger Combo Sound Stoned Out of their Brains Droning Out the Anti-hippy Anthem "Okie from Muskogee". Joe Patek's Orchestra Are a Righteously Groovefree Oompah Band Hilariously Lurching their Way Through Hank Williams's "Fraufein". Even More of a Nightmare, Adolf Hofner. And his Pearl Wranglers Transform "i'll Be with You in Apple Blossom Time" Into a Threat from a Manic Depressive. In Some Ways a Wonderful Collection, but If You Identify with this Music, Just Don't Move Into My Neighbourhood.

Album Details

Ever Wonder Where Cowboys Like Jimmie Rodgers Got their Yodeling From? a Town Name Like Schulenberg, Texas, Offers a Clue. The Truth Is, They Got it from European Immigrants, and Even Today If You Travel Through Small Towns in America´s West, Sometimes in the Middle of Texas, You´ll Find Orderly Rows of Houses with Little Gardens and Clear German Architecture, and Authentic Bav Arian Polka and Waltz Bands Blaring Oompah Oompah Into the Night. German Journalist/Musician Thomas Meinecke (Who also Fronts the Spirited Mutant Bavarian Post-punk Outfit F.s.k.) Has Travelled around Texas, Collecting and Recording German Music that Exists in America´s Heartlands (His Bandmate Michaela Took the Excellent Photographs), and the Results Shine on this German Import Compilation, Simply One of the Most Wonderful Out-of-the-blue Records You´ll Ever Hear.

A Must in any music selection.......2007-01-18

I purchased this CD for my father as he is a polka fan. I am not. After listening to this wonderful CD, I have now been converted. The songs are unique and brilliantly represent this style of music. The artists are local and bring Texas style into German/Polish music. Order this CD, grab a beer and sit back for a wild mix of the Texas Bohemian Moravian German Bands!
