German folk singer/songwriter
Reinhard Mey released
Mein Apfelbäumchen in 1989 to benefit the German Cancer Society, specifically as part of a movement to raise awareness about cancer in children. The 16 songs that appear here are thematic, chronicling
Mey’s experiences and reflections on being a father, and are geared toward parents and their children, though any listener can easily find enjoyment in the songs presented here. ~ Gregory McIntosh
