Reinhard Mey’s debut, ‘Jahreszeiten’, does not fit easily into one genre. This disc has all of the essential Reinhard Mey classics. Self-described as Chanson with lots of words, Reinhard Mey comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. To me Reinhard Mey is the best band ever.
This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. Although Des Kaisers neue Kleider is very melodic it is far from sad. Freunde, la uns trinken is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. So much energy, so exciting a sound.Vaters Nachtlied - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. Wir sind alle lauter arme, kleine Wen is almost impossible to review. Poor Old Germany is a fine track on any terms. Alleinflug presents the marvelous mix of instruments on Jahreszeiten. This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with Beim Blern in den Bildern meiner Kindheit. Kleiner Kamerad is a strong cut, one of many.
