Hannes Wader: Volkssänger is an album by the songwriter and singer Hannes Wader from 1975.

Origin and meaning

As early as 1974, Hannes Wader had dealt with the songs of the people in his album Plattdeutsche Lieder . He also did this with the albums Hannes Wader singt Arbeitserlieder from 1977 and Hannes Wader sings Shanties from 1978. The album Hannes Wader singt Volkslieder , released in 1990, can also be classified in this category . This kind of song was not new to Wader, because he had grown up with this kind of music. There was a lot of criticism at the time that the politically left-wing Wader of all people would now also sing folk songs.

particularities

On this album, Hannes Wader sings the title "Despite alledem" for the first time, a traditional workers' song . He also sings this title on his album Hannes Wader singt Arbeiterlieder (1977), but with a text he wrote himself and adapted to the current political situation. Another, again updated version is in the 2006 released album Suppose to find.

With the songs "So troll us", "Das Notabene" and "Weile an This Source", Hannes Wader brings titles by Carl Michael Bellman , the Swedish rococo poet, for the first time . This was followed in 1996 by the album Liebe, Schnaps, Tod - Wader sings Bellman .
