Product Information
On his new album Bulat Blues Daniel Kahn devotes himself to the »Georges Brassens of the Soviet Union«, Bulat Okudzhava, in new, own adaptations in English and a touch of Russian. Daniel Kahn is accompanied by the virtuoso Moscow musician Vanya Zhuk on the Russian 7-string guitar.
The Georgian-Armenian Muscovite Bulat Shalvovich Okudzhava (1924-1997), the spiritual father of all Russian singer-songwriters, is almost unanimously revered in Russia and the post-Soviet diaspora. His songs, which come from his experiences as a soldier, pacifist, poet and novelist of the Second World War, are deeply human. When Okudzhava privately performed them in the 1950s, he almost single-handedly invented the figure of the modern Russian guitar bard.
Reviews
»Changierend zwischen der Ruppigkeit der Pogues und der Songwriter-Eindringlichkeit eines Leonard Cohen zeigen Khan und Vanya Zhuk an der siebensaitigen Gitarre, wie zeitlos und erinnerungswürdig Bulats Schaffen ist.« (Stereo, Dezember 2019)»Bulat Blues ist ein sehr schönes, intensives, emotional bewegendes Album geworden. Durch die englischen Texte und die auf Akustikgitarren reduzierte Begleitung sowie die zwischen Folk und Chanson mäandernde musikalische Färbung gewinnt man fast den Eindruck, ein frühes Album von Leonard Cohen zu hören.« (Good Times, Dezember 2019/Januar 2020)
