Kemel / Kemel Vlci Stopy CD

Though he is better known as a caricaturist and author of cartoons (regularly published throughout the last three decades by most of the major Czech daily newspapers), he has alongside developed a very colorful music career which stands miles apart from his work in humor. He has three albums under his belt as singer and songwriter and has authored scores of songs and lyrics on various aspects of the world disclosing his own take on life. In the poetry of his lyrics and the simple melodies of the songs, Kemel comes across as either an introverted solitary performing on the guitar or accordion or as a charismatic front man of his own band in which actor Vladim?r Javorsk? has also played a central role. Kemel's new album VLC? STOPY (Wolf Trail) originated out of a first-time collaboration with producer Petr Ostrouchov and Blue Shadows band who also have met on Vladim?r Mi?k's two latest albums. Besides Ostrouchov, who has co-authored some of the album's repertoire, it features guitarist Josef ?tepnek, double bassist Jarom?r Honzk and drummer Martin Novk, as well as guest-vocalists Vladim?r Javorsk? and Marie Puttnerov. Kemel's new album brings a collection of authentic songs and uncomplicated stories with are endowed, however, with overreaching meanings and implications, all in a lively and riveting performance by a group of experienced studio musicians.
