The 2007 studio release from
Reinhard Mey,
Bunter Hund, finds the songwriter mining similar lyrical subjects he has regularly touched on over his career -- politics, gentle humor, and several very intimate explorations appear -- combined with the maturity of 40-plus years of writing music. The arrangement is primarily based around
Mey's inviting vocals and elegant guitar playing, but is occasionally supported by upright bass and drums as well as flourishes of accordion, pedal steel guitar, and other instruments. ~ Gregory McIntosh
