Eric Andersen, along with Bob Dylan or Phil Ochs, one of the great masters of classical folk rock, is always musically interested in the works and thoughts of these more than interesting authors. In 2014, he studied the work of the French-Algerian Nobel Prize winner Albert Camus. Two years later he took on texts by the eccentric, eccentric British poet Lord Byron. And now he has devoted himself once again to one of the Nobel Prize winners: Heinrich B?ll from Cologne. What the three gentlemen have in common, apart from their genius, is that they are deceased. "SILENT ANGEL: Fire And Ashes of Heinrich B?ll" is a complex round dance, a folk-inspired literary cornucopia that Eric Andersen pours out over the listener. The focus is on war and the post-war period. Living humanity. The city of Cologne. And above all, probably a little surprised, the genius Heinrich B?ll is enthroned. Audiophile LP, 180g, 45 RPM, fold-out cover The album is released on the occasion of Heinrich B?ll's 100th birthday
