Ivan Hlas & Nahlas – LP

Ivan Hlass cult debut album, recorded with Nahlas, returns on LP with careful remastering from the original tapes, complete lyrics and a redesigned cover by the original creators. The stellar band assembled in the studio with Hlas in 1986 included guitarist Pavel Skla, violinist Pavel Cingl, bassist Pavel Kuera, drummer Ji Horlek, keyboardist Vlastimil Voral and saxophonist Ji Isan Novotn. Together they combine Hanspaul songwriting and Neil Young-style melodies, extending from folk, rock and blues into reggae, with lyrics about girls, pubs and the moods of everyday life. Songs including Bejvaly asy, Neznm zem, Pan Baloghov and Trable s Kateinou became hits that remain part of the repertoire of the legendary singer-songwriter. The tracklist also includes Tanenk, Lska je krm, Kde jsi, Tango, Potichu si zpvej, O ns tech and Mon.
