Long awaited by fans – it's finally here: the new studio album from Glenfiddle, the Lübeck-based folk band with a history spanning over 25 years. "Put An Egg On It" is the band's ninth release and spans the band's founding years to the present day. Glenfiddle's signature mix of cheerful folk songs, original singer-songwriter pieces, and romantic Irish ballads is enriched with new styles, produced with a contemporary sound.
After many successful years of concerts at home and abroad, band founder Peter Simon (vocals, violin, guitar, mandolin), flautist and keyboardist Jan-Taken de Vries, Andreas Petalas (guitars), and drummer Olaf Koep have incorporated their experiences into new songs, while simultaneously looking back on a long career with newly arranged "classics." The title song "I Wish I Was" from the first cassette from 1989 is just as essential as the musical impressions of the numerous Portugal tours with "Put An Egg" and "Strawberry Trees."
Glenfiddle fans appreciate the successful blend of traditional and original songs, which is also reflected in this new studio album. Added to this is the overwhelming variety of instruments mastered by the four multi-instrumentalists. In their own studio and with producer Markus Rollwage, the Glenfiddle musicians have combined these distinctive features into diverse arrangements. The result is the album "Put An Egg On It," featuring a total of 16 tracks that certainly don't need to shy away from comparison with current productions.
