Walter Roderer - Also Nöd Wohr

Review by Fabian Tack

Also Nöd Wohr, the album by Walter Roderer, is a delightful blend of Swiss folk music and humor. The album features Roderer's signature witty lyrics and catchy melodies that are sure to get listeners tapping their feet. The instrumentation is primarily acoustic, with accordion, guitar, and traditional Swiss instruments like the alphorn and the Schwyzerörgeli.

The album opens with "Zäuerli," a traditional Swiss yodeling song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Roderer's playful lyrics are exemplified in tracks like "De Schtägegäuer," a song about a man who is always late, and "Uf em Füürwehrschiffli," a humorous take on firefighters.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "S'Träumli," a beautiful ballad about a dream that Roderer had. The song features haunting accordion melodies and Roderer's gentle vocals.

Summary by Fabian Tack

Also Nöd Wohr is a charming album that showcases the best of Swiss folk music and humor. Roderer's love for his country and its traditions shines through in every song, making this a must-listen for anyone interested in Swiss culture or folk music in general.
