Review by ANDRA KELLON

Jiří Dědeček's album Už Jde Rudoch Od Válu is a delightful collection of traditional Czech folk songs. The album features Dědeček's rich and earthy vocals, accompanied by a range of instruments including accordion, guitar, and violin. Each track on the album is a testament to Dědeček's deep knowledge and love for Czech folk music.

The album opens with the lively and upbeat "Už Jde Rudoch Od Válu," a song about a young man returning home from military service. The track features the accordion prominently, giving it a distinctly Czech flavor. Other standout tracks on the album include "Na Svatém Kopečku," a haunting ballad about lost love, and "Sousedská," a cheerful dance tune.

One of the strengths of Už Jde Rudoch Od Válu is its authenticity. Dědeček is clearly passionate about preserving the traditional Czech folk music, and each track on the album is a testament to his dedication. The arrangements are simple yet effective, allowing the beauty of the melodies and lyrics to shine through.
