Ludwig Harig - Ihr Gutte Schlucker

Review by Pravin Phanse

Ihr Gutte Schlucker is an album by German author and poet Ludwig Harig, released in 2002. The album features Harig's unique blend of spoken word poetry and music, with a focus on the German language and culture.

The album is a collection of 12 tracks, each one featuring Harig's distinctive voice reciting his poetry over a musical backing. The music is largely acoustic, with guitars, accordion, and percussion providing a simple but effective accompaniment to Harig's words.

The songs on Ihr Gutte Schlucker are all deeply personal, exploring themes of love, loss, and the passing of time. Harig's poetry is often melancholic and reflective, but also has a wry sense of humor that keeps things from becoming too heavy.

Summary by Pravin Phanse

Ihr Gutte Schlucker is a unique and compelling album that showcases Ludwig Harig's talents as both a poet and a musician. The combination of his evocative poetry and simple, understated music creates a powerful emotional impact that will stay with listeners long after the album has finished.
