Welcome to Alpine Rock -- a brave new genre!.......1998-11-14

I am still in the throes of delight and amazement at the combination of instruments and styles that makes up Hubert von Goisern's Alpinkatzen sound. A friend from Germany sent me their live CD produced shortly after the break-up of this group, complete with the hits on the Alpine Lawine (Alpine Avalanche) CD such as Kren und Speck, which combines excellent electric guitar, drumming virtuosity, humor, Alpine folk motifs and the outstanding singing and yodeling (I kid not!) of the lead singer von Goisern and female vocalist Sabine (AKA Alpine Sabine) Kapfinger. Some of the cuts are heartfelt and poignantly rendered ballads and others are wildly raucus Alpine Rock romps through Austrian folk music standards. The Alpinkatzen have created a new audience for yodeling -- in the same manner that groups like the Chieftans have done for Irish music or what Tri Yann has done for Breton folk music.
