Krausberry – CD

This debut album by Krausberry, released in 1990, presents the Prague blues-rock scene of Hanspaulka in full force. After six years of existence and two EPs, Martin Kraus found ample room for solo singing and a powerful delivery of largely self-written songs after leaving Bluesberry and Petar Introvi. Hanspaulka, Baba and Houty became distinctive names in Pragues blues and reggae scene, whose representatives also appear on the album. The core line-up of M. Kraus, J. Voln, M. Kuaj, R. Dvok, P. Venkrbec, I. Dolelek and J. Zelenka was joined in the studio by the Tesak brothers, P. Introvi, Z. Vel, J. Novotn and M. Bezinov. The result is strongly electrified rock, led by Krauss suitably rough voice, with songs such as Ohnky that have almost become folk standards. The reissue also features remastered sound, complete song lyrics in the packaging and a reproduction of the famous cover photograph. The tracklist includes N dm, Tak ber, estn mistr, Potom, Ohnky, Hospodsk holka, Ped chvl byla tma, Nmstek, V konzumu, Svatba nebude, Pt pd, Rodinn pohoda and Na tenkm led.
