The theme of Zuzana Homolova´s timeless folk tales on her new album When the soldier was drafted,  recently released with her band Z. H. Trio, goes back to the wars from different periods, including the first "great" war. The songs rendered from different perspectives of young boys, girls and their parents are rough, sad but also ironic and romantic. Draftees´s and recruiters´s songs take turns with the laments of mothers and lassies in woeful ballads. War stories are illustrated from different perspectives, and this relates to both music and lyrics. Despite a rather gloomy theme of war, the whole album is intimate, emotional, not just dramatic, as might be expected.
