Irwin Goodman

Artist: Irwin Goodman
LP: Si Si Si
Song: "Si Si Si"
[ listen ]
Song: "Pannaan Menemään"
[ listen ]

I tried stumping Shazam this morning with a track from this 1973 LP, but the app didn't take long to figure out it was something by Irwin Goodman (born Antti Yrjö Hammargerg), the Finnish folk-rock singer whose favorite themes were poverty, taxes, drinking, and money troubles. You can read about Irwin here. I picked this record up at Råkk og Rålls in Oslo when I was on that trip to Scandinavia with my sister back in the spring of 2017.

[ Irwin Goodman: September 14, 1943 — January 14, 1991 ]
