Suede Coat Man is a 1977 music album by the German songwriter Franz Josef Degenhardt . In the play of the same name in particular, he describes his disappointment with his former companions from the time of the student movement of 1968, who, in his opinion, betrayed socialist ideals, have moved politically to the right into the social-liberal camp and typically wear suede coats.
The album also contains songs that are critical of capitalism such as the ballad of the prodigal son or unemployment , but also the papal song originally created by Walther von der Vogelweide about that of Pope Innocent III. The division of the German Empire triggered by the deployment of an unrecognized counter-emperor; In Papstlied II , Degenhardt rearranges the piece with a text by Peter Rühmkorf , who criticizes the President of the World Bank and his politics.
The album was produced by Jimmy Bowien and the album cover was designed by Gertrude Degenhardt .
