Fern Von Der Heimat, the album by Gitta Lind, is a beautiful collection of German folk songs that transports the listener to a world of nostalgia and longing. The album features Lind's rich and soulful vocals, accompanied by traditional instruments like the accordion, zither, and guitar.
The songs on the album are a mix of well-known German folk tunes and lesser-known gems, all of which are infused with Lind's unique style and interpretation. From the hauntingly beautiful "Die Lorelei" to the lively and upbeat "Das Wandern," each track on the album is a joy to listen to.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Es war einmal ein treuer Husar," a bittersweet ballad about a soldier who falls in love with a woman but is forced to leave her behind when he is called to war. Lind's emotive delivery of the song perfectly captures the pain and heartbreak of the soldier's story.
