Günter Wewel's album "Lieder Zum Bier" is a delightful collection of German drinking songs that will have you tapping your feet and raising your glass in no time. The album features traditional German melodies and lyrics, as well as some original compositions by Wewel himself. The instrumentation is lively and authentic, with accordion, horns, and percussion creating a cheerful and festive atmosphere.
The album opens with the upbeat "Ein Prosit Der Gemütlichkeit," a classic drinking song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other highlights include "Trinklied," a rousing ode to the joys of beer, and "In München Steht Ein Hofbräuhaus," a beloved German folk song that celebrates the famous beer hall in Munich.
Wewel's vocals are warm and inviting, with a hint of rustic charm that perfectly complements the music. His arrangements are simple yet effective, allowing the songs to shine without overwhelming them with unnecessary flourishes.
