Henk Wijngaard - Nachtrijders

We aren't surprised when we see a great rock band or a great jazz artist that is from a different country, so why should we be surprised that there is great country music from all over the world.  The Netherlands has a thriving country scene, much of which is in English but some - like this - in Dutch.  Henk Wijngaard should know something about country - his half brother is Shania Twain's grandfather.

Now I don't speak much Dutch (Dank je) I really get the sense of what this song is all about.  Night driving.  Some themes - and some music - is universal.

  2. Good song -- I think ASM is onto something with the accordion. That or maybe honky-tonk piano.
