Trio - Trio EP

In the early 80's, there was a German band known as Trio that was very popular in its native country. Stephan Remmler sang and played the occasional keyboards, Gert Krawinkel played guitar and Peter Behrens played drums.

Today (September 11th) marks the thirtieth anniversary of Trio, the self-titled extended-play album released by the group to the English speaking audiences. While it only had six tracks, it still delivered some very interesting and memorable music for the early days of new-wave, alternative 80’s.

Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt - Trio

In the 70’s, this threesome of musical talents made an attempt to record an album together, but the stars just wouldn’t align properly. However, in 1987, things fell into place and yielded the best selling and award winning Trio. It spent five weeks at number 1 on the Billboard Country charts and went to number 6 on the regular Billboard 200.
