Karl Denver: Wimoweh (CD)

(Hallmark) 16 tracks

Karl Denver – Wimoweh captures one of the most distinctive voices associated with British popular music of the early 1960s. Naturally, the centrepiece is “Wimoweh”, Karl Denver’s highly recognizable interpretation of the song that became one of his signature recordings and a major British hit in 1961. The album contains 12 tracks and presents a broad selection reflecting Denver’s musical range, moving between folk, country, pop and traditional material. Alongside “Wimoweh”, the tracklist includes “China Doll”, “Open Up Dem Pearly Gates”, “Shin Gan Goo”, “Mexicali Rose”, “Vella Langa”, “Zimba”, “Rose Marie”, “Blue Yodel”, “If I Had My Way”, “Marcheta” and “The Peanut Vendor”. Denver’s distinctive vocal approach gives the material its unmistakable character, particularly his remarkable high register and yodelling style. For collectors of early-1960s British pop, vocal music, folk and country-influenced recordings, this is a title worth keeping on the radar. FOMO for anyone who enjoys discovering individual voices from the era: Wimoweh offers a compact opportunity to revisit Karl Denver and the repertoire surrounding one of his best-known recordings. His unusual vocal style and energetic interpretations make this album an interesting addition to collections devoted to classic British pop and vintage vocal recordings.

"Karl Denver"

Geboren am 16. 12. 1931 (andere Quellen: 1934) in Glasgow als Angus McKenzie- verstorben am 21. 12. 1998 in Manchester. Der Sänger, Gitarrist und ehemalige Seemann der britischen Handelsmarine stieg 1957 ins Musikgeschäft ein. Mit dem Karl Denver Trio veröffentlichte er in den 60er Jahren 18 Singles in England. Elf davon kamen in die UK-Top 40, 'Marcheta', 'Mexicali Rose' (1961) sowie 'Wimoweh' und “Never Goodbye' (1962) sogar in die Top 10. Denvers Mitstreiter waren Kevin Neill (Gitarre, Gesang) und Jerry Cotterell (andere Schreibweise: Gerry Cottrell- Bass, Gesang). Bis weit in die 80er Jahre blieb das Trio aktiv (beliebteste Tournee-Ziele: Hongkong, Zimbabwe, Australien), dessen folkloristische Songs ihr Publikum auf dem weltweiten Oldie-Circuit fanden. 1989 spielte Denver mit den Happy Mondays die Single ''Lazyitis (One Armed Boxer)' ein, die bis auf Platz 46 der UK-Charts gelangte. Die textliche Schlichtheit der B-Seite seiner deutschen Single wird relativiert, wenn man weiß, dass ebenfalls 1963 in England ein Werk mit dem Titel “My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes' als Denver-Single erschien...
