Danish troubadour Povl Dissing is 83 today. His vocals are extremely characteristic, somewhat on a par with Tom Waits in their gruffness.
Dissing started out in the 60s with Danish versions of Shel Silverstein songs, but rose to the status of national icon with his collaborations with poet Benny Andersen on Svantes Viser (Svante’s Songs). Svante is a miserable Swedish ex-pat in Denmark who has a sharp eye for Danish fallibilities, but who does get to have ONE happy day!
VERDENS BEDSTE DANSKE ALBUM
Jeg er dybt afhængig af dette album. Sammen med min trofaste toilettaske og min elskede Annette er Benny Andersen’s og Povl Dissing’s 15 sange om Svante altid med mig: på min mobil, tablet PC samt diverse externe hard discs (just in case) Til alle jer der går shop-amok i morgen og lige som sidste år kommer hjem med en ternet BH, hundedække uden hund og en haveslange uden bed eller et hundehus, tropehjelm og svømmebassin... lyt en ekstra gang. Især til fagottens panik.
... og husk også den lille digt/anekdote samling der udkom samtidigt med albummet... Svante der køber hot-dogs er ikke kedelig
