Review by Lorenza Marini

Der Grüne Zweig: A Timeless Folk Gem for All Ages Let’s talk about Der Grüne Zweig Lieder Für Junge Und Alte Leute Mit Pit Gundi Und Gerd by Peter Janssens. Released in 1980, this German folk album is like a warm hug on a chilly day—full of heart, charm, and just enough quirkiness to keep you smiling. It’s not your typical children's music record; it feels more like a cozy family gathering where everyone gets a turn at the mic. With its mix of folk, world, and country vibes, it bridges generations in ways that still feel fresh today. The first thing you notice? The sheer personality packed into every track. Take “Ich Weiß Einen Stern,” for instance. This one sticks with me because it’s so simple yet deeply touching. Gundi Jöcker’s vocals are sweet but never cloying, backed by Peter Janssens’ gentle keyboard work. There’s something magical about how the melody floats along, almost like gazing up at the stars yourself. You don’t need to speak German fluently to feel the tenderness—it’s universal. Then there’s “Herr Von Ribbeck Auf Ribbeck Im Havelland.” Wow, does this song ever hit differently! It tells a story (a poem, really) about legacy and generosity, set against an earthy blend of banjo from Gerd Geerken and soft percussion from Hermann Mensing. I mean, who wouldn’t love a tune that makes you think about life while tapping your foot? The storytelling here pulls you right in—it’s nostalgic without being sappy, wise without trying too hard. These aren’t just songs; they’re little moments frozen in time. What strikes me most about this album is how human it feels. It’s clear Peter Janssens poured his soul into producing it, wearing multiple hats as composer, musician, and producer. And props to the whole crew—Jürgen Pluta’s basslines add depth, Klaus Dapper’s flute and sax bring a playful flair, and Wilfried Landsknecht pops in on vocals for a couple tracks, adding variety to the mix. Heinz Gilsdorf even nailed the layout, making the whole package look as inviting as the music sounds. But here’s the kicker—it’s not perfect. Some parts might feel a tad rough around the edges, especially if you’re used to slick modern productions. But honestly? That’s what makes it special. It’s raw, real, and unafraid to show its imperfections. Like those hand-drawn birthday cards kids make—you wouldn’t trade them for anything store-bought. Listening to Der Grüne Zweig reminds me of simpler times, even though I wasn’t alive when it came out. Maybe that’s why it works so well—it taps into something timeless. Music doesn’t always have to reinvent the wheel to be meaningful. Sometimes, all it needs to do is remind us of our shared humanity. Oh, and here’s a random thought to leave you with: If this album were a person, it’d probably be the kind of neighbor who bakes cookies and leaves them on your doorstep without expecting anything in return. Wouldn’t we all benefit from having a little more of that energy in our lives?
