The Hank Haller Orchestra - Polkas And Beer

Review by Nigel Merrick

The Hank Haller Orchestra's album Polkas and Beer is a lively and entertaining collection of traditional polka tunes that is sure to get toes tapping and beer mugs clinking. The album showcases Haller's virtuosic accordion playing and the band's tight, energetic arrangements of classic polkas like "The Happy Wanderer" and "Beer Barrel Polka." The album also includes a few original compositions by Haller that fit seamlessly into the traditional polka repertoire. Polkas and Beer is a fun and enjoyable album that captures the spirit of the polka tradition with skill and enthusiasm.
