"With the success of her compatriot in Germany, Siw Malmkvist, the Swedish singer Ann-Loise Hanson also tried the attractive pop market in the early 60's. Here is the collection of her all German singles released in 1962-1965, 1969, 1979 and 1981.
She is considered to be the European Doris Day, and rightly so, albeit her singing is more within the North-European folk-pop tradition.
Though in German, the CD booklet is very nice. It contains a brief comprehensive biography with recollection bits from Hanson herself. Also included a detailed discography with a lot of pictures.
There's nothing really outstanding or unforgettable, but this CD would be enjoyed by those who want to hear a pure European pop music with the least Anglo-Saxon pop influences."
