CD: L.I.E.B.E.

The palette of songs he has chosen for the new album ranges from Bert Kaempfert's mid-60s composition "L.I.E.B.E." as the opener - Nat King Cole made it as "L.O.V.E." globally immortal - right up to the Ilse Werner title "The small town wants to go to sleep" from 1940 as the finale. In between there are treasures such as "One should be able to play the piano" by Johannes Heesters from the 1941 sound film "Always Only You", presented here in a rockabilly version, Greetje Kauffeld's sarcastic account of lovers "Just a bad copy" from 1961 or "What I want to tell you" from the pen of Udo Jürgens and Joachim "Blacky" Fuchsberger.
