I'm all OT but as it's my thread: Ilse DeLange (Jazz/blues/soul) > is *very* popular now with her new album (sold out in the USA already). > Mathilde Santing & Rob Hoeke R&B band are/were other good Dutch bands. > > Most famous Dutch-American artists are Van Halen and Bruce > Springsteen. > > If you're looking for any audiophile-grade releases of Dutch music, ask > me because I know most. > > cheers, > Nick. In fact, I've been listening to Golden Earring since 75 and the -Switch- album (that still remains one of my favorites). Even my 15-year old son likes it. :) So, yes, I would be glad if you could advise me on audiophile-grade releases of similar type of music (rock). But I also like Blues/Soul/Funk and all that. Pure jazz is not what I prefer, although I listen to it with pleasure.
