From the linernotes of the Lp:
Ann
Tholsted showed up on the Danish folk scene in the spring 1968. With her
guitar, charm and a warm sounding voice she got an overnight success and at
once attained a sure position among the best of the Danish folksingers.
'Vise
Vers Huset' in Tivoli included Ann Tholsted in the opening program in May.
Nobody knew this new lark, but everybody listened - and listened with
pleasure. A new young talent had started her career, which to everybody
seems to become a remarkable one.
In 'Vise
Vers Huset' Ann met the guitarplayer, Hans Gregersen Dal (classical guitar,
but surprisingly versatile). He has arranged the music for this record,
besides that he himself plays the single guitar. As an arranger Hans
Gregersen Dal is a new name, but as you can hear, he knows what he is
doing. He possesses very high musical abilities and has shown feeling and
fantasy for this job.
Ann is
twenty years old, she is self-taught as well as a singer as a guitar
player, and she is a composer and a lyric writer too. You will find three
of her songs on this record. 'Living Cherry', 'Dreaming' and 'The Love We
Caught'.
Her
interest in folkmusic is of old date. You feel, she gets her inspiration
from many different places and many different artists, but all the same she
never copies anyone. She finds the music and transforms it in her own
beautiful head and performs her songs so that you feel that they belong to
her.
Ann does
not think that she will be able to change the world with a song. She is
quite right, but all the same she can make the world a little more
beautiful and a little more gay with her songs. That is still something of
a change.
Mørks
Musikforlag started her with her first success, her very personal recording
of 'Master Jack', and at once made a long term contract with this
international artist.
