ReplyDeleteמי כעמך ישראל from the "Jerusalem is Calling" CD is my all time favorite Diaspora song followed closely by מי שעשה ניסים.
ReplyDeleteProblem with LH free experiment is that it lacks heat and spice hence few hits. LH draws its heat and spiciness not from jalapeno or chipolate but from brimstone and sulfur if you know what I mean.
Yes, Bray, great harmonies on that song. My favorite is the intro to Pischu/Pitchu Li. Banjos, fiddles, and mandolins create a cacophony of sound that blends perferctly with the words. The Wall of Sorrow and the Kotel song are also treasures.
ReplyDeleteJust for you I'm going to add the title track from Kedem.
