Reinhard Liebe & seine Leute
"I wanted and could afford, whenever possible, to play without an investment. For me it was a total satisfaction that everyone was quiet with quiet pieces. The appearance without an amplification system was also a counter thesis to pop culture. I had a special ambition when I was playing street music." (Reinhard love)
Da singt heit ana auf da Gassn' was released in 1977 as an LP and was regarded as a milestone of the new Wienerlied and the dialect song making scene in Austria. Despite exuberant criticism, Reinhard Liebe had massive problems because the record company had a say in the arrangements and wanted to intervene in the lyrics, which the musician did not accept and which eventually led to a curiosity: "The production company Ariola destroyed most of the first and only edition of the LP and later claimed to me that the master tapes had also been destroyed. Which went so far that Ariola issued 'recommendations' to the distributors not to sell the LP if possible. "The butterflies, for example, could assert themselves better because they had their own production facility. "Unfortunately, I didn't show enough initiative." In addition there was the fact that the singer-songwriter scene in Austria in the early 70s was very clear: "There was the Association of Critical Singer-Songwriters, in which everyone was inside, and that were hardly 20 people. Reinhard Liebe was born in Innsbruck in 1946 and began training and working for the probation service in 1970. One year later he made his first appearance as a singer-songwriter. "In the early 1970s there was the folk club Atlantis and a group called Tiny Folk who once invited me to play there. Bob Dylan, Donovan and Franz Josef Degenhardt had the greatest influence on me." Liebe & seine Leute called himself his group, which he formed in 1973, resulting in the first LP as well as the single Kibara Rock and the B-side Wann du net from Kagran. This was followed by various literary awards, radio plays, recordings and activities in other fields. So he led
z. B. from 1981 to 1990 'Change', the first drug counselling centre in Central Europe. In 2000 he suffered a severe stroke, love was hemiplegic and barely survived after weeks of coma. After two years of stationary rehabilitation and the regaining of the language, there were some stage appearances again.
