It’s so good to have friends with excellent and adventurous taste. My label mate Shannon Fields just introduced me to some of the most haunting and gorgeous sounds I’ve ever heard. Hamlet Gonashvili (1928 - 1985) was considered the voice of Georgia until he died at the height of his fame after falling from an apple tree. How’s that for a unique rock star death?  Accompanied here on Georgian TV by his ensemble of nattily dressed gents, Hamlet will break your heart with some of the most achingly lovely harmonies you’ll ever hear. i have no idea what they’re singing about but I assume it’s quite sad.
