It are tracks that makes them also very suitable for western radioshow airplay. Tracks that are only underlined can be considered fine tracks you might better check out as well, but I am not sure how essential they are. T


이연실 - Lee Yun-Sil (Lee Yeon-Sil)
The first few tracks are somewhat similar in style as the Eun He item from 1971, which I thought at first was from the same and similarly looking artist, but perhaps this one is even sweeter, with beautiful arrangements, full of subtle romance ; the voice of the singer here is very beautiful too, making the music as a finished product to some unforgetable moments. Some other tracks are sung by male voice, a bit more in direction of taverne song entertainment. Most tracks I mu


최안순 - Choi An-Soon (Choi An-Soon) (<-Lana.et Rospo)
Most of the album is folk songs with acoustic guitar, possibly more of the tracks are covers of popular Western song hits (like “Plaisir D’Amour” and Greensleeves”). The picking is good and the voice has a sort of strong quality of innocence I rarely heard in this amount outside Korea (such approach could easily balance between sensitive and mellow). For some tracks the singing makes a few strange turns, perhaps it was not always totally correct for each note or variety as a


라나에로스포 / Lana Et Rospo / Ranaerospo (Frog & Toad)
Jigu Rec. Lana Et Rospo (with Choi Ahn-Soon) -2CD- (2006)***° This double album (-sounding a bit like another South-Korean duo, Toi et Moi-) is another classic collection of sensitive and warm acoustic guitar songs with duo of warm male and a contrasting cool female voice. I assume several songs are covers of Western songs, but how many I cannot tell because the all have the same sensibility. Recognised was track 10, “Summerwine”, originally by Lee Hazlewood (wih Nancy S


이종용 - Lee Jong-Yong (Twin Folio)
Lee Yong-Jong, who once cooperated with Twin Folio, also made some solo song records. This well-hanging together compilation shows that solo period. The choice of songs tend to chose a bit more often predictable chords and melodies, save songs and perhaps even Christian idealisations of inspirations. Often there’s use of synth arrangements with acoustic guitar. Elsewhere there are strings and entertainment pop/rock arrangements. You can still hear there’s an original songwrit


이장희 - Lee, Jang-Hee
Lee Jang Hee - Meet Me In A Room also listed as "That's You" I usually prefer not to review albums if I do not know if whether they are official reissues or not, but there are so little more easily available Korean reissues that I prefer to give this one some attention. Before I do review this I must say that there are, just like in Japan, two different influences of inspirations that western collectors should distinguish with, which is the more self-penned and adventurous cr
