AMERICANA BY WAY OF THE NETHERLANDS...
Introducing...THE VERY GIRLS: Aggie de Kruijf & Ankie Keultjes, (ok, let''s just get to know them by Aggie & Ankie). The Houston, Texas-based VERY GIRLS are a vocal duo who originally made their home in Eindhoven, Holland (that''s in the southern part of The Netherlands) before coming to the USA. Their music is a little bit Americana, a little bit "Euro-Folk," according to VERY GIRL, Ankie Keultjes, and oh yes, even a little bit Bluegrass...you''ll have to decide for yourself.
You might say their sound is Emmylou Harris meets The Roches, or perhaps Nanci Griffith meets The Andrews Sisters. Think very accessible, engaging, infectiously- melodic songs (thanks to bandmate & mentor, Ad Van Meurs, also known to many as the driving force behind THE WATCHMAN), with stunning vocal harmonies (these ladies sing in English, in case you were wondering), backed by a tight, road-tested band of acoustic musician-warriors (guitar, dobro, bass, drums, mandolin...even harp).
All but one track on Elsewhere Bound were recorded in the Netherlands, and produced & engineered by VERY GIRL, Ankie Keultjes. The bonus track, "A Letter To Your Wedding," was captured live at Houston''s Anderson Fair, and was produced by Earl Willis (best known for the quintessential live album by the late Townes van Zandt).
Elsewhere Bound is an album about the seduction of American culture & American music...it''s a rather romantic vision of our country as seen through the eyes of two Dutch girls...THE VERY GIRLS (Aggie & Ankie). This CD has been receiving praise on both sides of the Atlantic & we feel that if you loved the soundtrack to Oh Brother, Where Art Thou, you will love Elsewhere Bound by THE VERY GIRLS.
