Editorial Reviews Eleven of the twelve tracks on their new release were written by mentor and band-mate, Ad van Meurs, known to many as The Watchman, and were recorded in the Netherlands with Van Meurs' band, including a little help from Americans, Eugene Ruffolo on vocal, and Gene Williams (ex Jimmy LaFave) & Thad Beckman on guitar. All but one track were produced by Very Girl, Ankie Keultjes, and the CD's bonus track, "A Letter to Your Wedding," was captured live at Houston's Anderson Fair during a previous visit to the United States, and was produced by Earl Willis (best known for the quintessential live album by the late Townes van Zandt).
John Conquest, 3rd Coast Music
"...Ad van Meurs is a notable and intricate songwriter, and Aggie & Ankie have a sound that's truly lovely."
Darrell Harkins, Roots Music Report
"There are a variety of moods, but they are all good songs, performed skillfully with feeling."
Album Description
Introducing, the Very Girls: Aggie de Kruijf & Ankie Keultjes, (OK, let's just get to know them as Aggie & Ankie). The Eindhoven-based (that's in the southern part of Holland) Very Girls have a sound that's a little bit Folk, a little bit Country, and oh yes, even a little bit Americana. Think Emmylous Harris meets the Roches, or perhaps, Nanci Griffith meets the Andrews Sisters. Also, think engaging, accessible and infectiously melodic songs with strong vocal harmonies (by the way, the Very Girls sing in English, in case you were wondering).
Elsewhere Bound
Elsewhere Bound, Music, The Very Girls, Folk, Folk & Traditional, Pop, The Very Girls can be categorized as Americana, Folk, & Triple A. Their music consisits of very accessible, engaging, & infectiously melodic songs with stunning two part harmonies, backed by a tight, road-tested band known as The Watchman.
