IR-KJY combination had many folk hits. By the way the song goes,I believe this is also a song which describes the beauty of a village.Good rendition by KJY.Song from "Paatu Vaathiyar"

Neethane song scores for its intense,rich orchestration

For me, the best folk song from IR-KJY is from Poothotta Kaavalkaaran..

Adi Kaana Ka runguiyile

KJY's rendition in charanam is out of the world!!!

மன்னிக்கவும்.. ராஜாவின் நாட்டுப்புற இசைப்பாடல்களில் சிறந்த பத்து என்ற எனது தேர்வில் இதற்கு இடமில்லை. மற்றவர்களுக்கு எப்படியோ எனக்கு இதே படத்தில் வரும் "கோட்டையை விட்டு வேட்டைக்குப் போகும்" பாடலில் வரும் கிராமிய உணர்வை ஒப்பிடும்போது "நான் ஏரிக்கரை" பாடல் குறைவென்றே சொல்வேன்.

Venkiram,

முழுதும் உடன்படுகிறேன்.

உணர்ந்தேன். ஆனா அந்த அளவுக்கு அவரது குரல் வசியப்படுத்தவில்லை. ஏசுதாஸின் குரலில் Folk பாடலுக்கென்ற உணர்வு என்றால் "கடலோரம் கடலோரம்" கடல். "நான் ஏரிக்கரை" ஏரி.

ஒரு சந்தேகம். "ஏரிக்கரை பூங்காற்றே" பாடலை எந்த வகையில் சேர்ப்பது? அதுவும் Folk வகையா?

பல ராசா பாடல்களிலுமுள்ள பெரிய சிக்கலே இது தான்

உணர்வு பூர்வமாகப்பார்த்தால் சுத்தமான நாட்டுப்பாடல். தர்க்கமேயில்லை.

பண்டிதர்கள் அதில் ராகம், வெளிநாட்டுச்செவ்வியல் பாதிப்பு, வழக்குக்கு அதீதமான பாடகரின் நாகரீகச்சுவை என்றெல்லாம் கண்டுபிடிக்கக்கூடும்.

ஆனால், 'தூறல் நின்னு போச்சு' படத்தை கை தட்டி வரவேற்ற பாமரர்கள் அதற்கு ஏற்கனவே சான்றிதழ் வழங்கியாயிற்று

"yerikkarai poongatrey" - gives me goosebumps

I reserve that for "Thangach changili" from the same movie.

Now I was you tube surfing for Kadavul Amaitha medai songs and was happy to have landed on "Mayile Mayile". then realised what a mistake it was to see the video. Sivakumar as usual and sumithra as unusual made the song into a pulpy intolerable mess. However Raaja is as usual - genius unparallelled - must have started the "pop" usage of carnatic mrudangam from that song. Sounds cool and hip even today. Then SPB and Jency liven it up, though my ears wanted to substitute SJ in that place.

Followed it up with "Mazhai varuvadhu mayilukku theriyum" from Rishimoolam. Another 1979 gem - What a composition and what a lyrics by Kannadasan.
It is amazing progression of words, chords, rhythms - - like a fastly flowing down rivulet passing through rocks. SPMuthuraman has struggled with KRVijaya to convey what the two mavericks have cooked up in the composing session. Clearly shows how cinema as a medium has struggled to cope up with Raaja and Kannadasan.
And yaaruppaa adhu SJanaki keechu kuralla kaadhai kutharaango appdinnu solradhu? Vandhu indha paattai kelunga - evvlo low sthaayila, basela poyee paadirukkaanga. appadiye thanni sala salannu pora maadhiri oru koralla paadirukaangappa.

Ezhai jaadhi songs - First Rate.
My pick
1- Indha veedu namakku sondhamillai - SPB - mellowed down - "unmai viLambum" version
2 - Indha veedu namakku sondhamillai - Raaja version - hopeful - positive version

Both songs are helped by very good simple lyrics

3. adho andha nadhiyoram - SJanaki special - wonderful orchestration making this song an instant classic.

4. Koduthaalum koduthaanda- functional mano + chorus number - but good.

Fantastic song!

The saraNam part is so beautiful and comparable to any top number in TFM!

In a doordarshan program in early 90's on diwali featuring IR, this song's picturization on the sets was shown. (I think around the time when dhaLapathi was released).

IIRC, Prabhu Deva was the dance master and Shobana is on screen. They played the practice session and repeats - it was awesome. (Here is a case where Kamal's allegation of no-rehearsals can be easily disputed). The audio / movie weren't even released at that point of time.

I don't think the album / movie generated a lot of response from the public as the 'puyal' had started by then.
