VA - Dutch Rare Folk, 43 Lost Classics from the Golden Age of Nederfolk [2007] (2 x CD's)

The interest in acid-folk and folk music in general has unearthed some real diamonds on CD in recent years, and here is another batch. Pulling together a wide-ranging collection of folk recorded by Dutch artists between 1967-1987, this 2 x CD set really captivates. English language riders such as Sundown’s Bridges (1976), Whitsuntide Easter’s Transitory (1977) and Amphora’s Waitin’ (For The Sunlight) (1971) are amazing gems that everyone should hear.

Although many of these fine songs are sung in Dutch, this does not detract from the pleasure to be gained from the likes of Gerard Van Maasakkers, Cheops, King Gaillard, Herman Erbe, Perelaar and Sistrum. After all, anyone who has heard Meic Stevens’ Welsh recordings will know that it’s all about feeling as well as understanding. The compilers’ decision to pick cherries from 20 years is a wise one, and all styles of folk music are covered from sea shanties to songs with a driving backbeat. Finally, in Dutch folk circles Jan Duindam is as revered as Richard Thompson and his Happiness & Tears will make you want to check out his 1977 solo album Thoughts. Excellent sleeve-notes make this a must-have for all folk. (recordcollectormag.com)

This is an awesome 2-CD collection of folk, freak-folk and folk-rock rarities from Holland, mostly recorded in the mid-to-late 1970's, when folk-rock and psychedelic folk from abroad had really suffused the Dutch music scene.
