Matchbox full of Diamonds: David Kramer

September 14, 2010

This is one of those orphans I find in my files, a one of a kind. I looked up David Kramer, "He began his music career in the mid 1970's, singing at folk clubs and campus concerts in South Africa. David pioneered the use of Cape Afrikaans and South African English in his lyrics, often using both languages in the same song. He focused on small town South Africa and employed a gritty realism and dark satire to tell his stories and describe his characters."

This is from Klassic Kramer, a compilation released in 1996.
