Rio Reiser Am Piano I-III (3-LP, 180g Vinyl)

(Möbius Records) 43 tracks, gatefold cover

The great great Rio Reiser very reduced, quiet and intimate at the piano. This voice, these lyrics, the atmosphere... Goosebumps! An insanely important artist, the social conscience of the republic. There are 45 songs on six vinyl sides, including some cover songs, of course from TON STEINE SCHERBEN, but also THE BEATLES, THE ROLLING STONES and THE CLASH. Sensational record, first released in 2000.  
Rio knew no boundaries, he sang with equal commitment a hit song like "Schwimmen lernt man am See..." as well as "The times they are a-changing" by Bob Dylan. He had a lot of fun mixing up all genres of music. He loved popular folk music and pop songs as well as Johann Sebastian Bach.
