This record is very different than all of other stuff I have on this blog. Vladimir Vysotsky has been dubbed the Bard of the Russian people in the soviet era, although he was not super pro-soviet himself. Vysotsky often sings of decadence, loneliness, society, and other things from translations I have read of some songs lyrics, although I do not speak Russian myself and can not say first-hand. Vladimir's emotion and honesty bleed through the music of raw feeling. This acoustic album is a live recording, but is some of my favorite recordings. This album is very good. If any of my readers have anything more by this artist please leave me a comment or something like that.
