Batiar-band "Halychyna", Victor Morozov. Batiar Blues. /digi-pack/.

This is the third "batiar" album by Viktor Morozov and batiar band "Halychyna" – it already seems to turn into an entire series. Finally, and not surprisingly – because it is, perhaps, difficult to find a more colorful theme, and the success of the two previous works convincingly confirmed this. It should be noted that the author of almost all the lyrics (as well as in "Batiar's Heart") is our contemporary – Andriy Panchyshyn, Morozov's longtime mate since the time of the legendary theater studio "Ne Zhurys!" So, it is another stylization – and a brilliant one. This refers both to the lyrics, and music. Moreover, in terms of intonation/masks "Batiar Blues" is, perhaps, the most striking album of this series – adults, respected professionals, play as if children here. Only, unlike children, they have behind their backs – 40 years of very diverse experience and no fear to look funny. And this is true power.. Yes, these songs easily inspire a sense of a journey back in time and a special, salty smile at the present. But, on the other hand, they contain such ordinary freedom that it is even unordinary – a nice luxury for any "troublesome time".

The release contains a 20-page booklet with lyrics of all the songs.
