George Kooymans – Jojo

Description

Digitally remastered. Reissue of Golden Earring guitarist George Kooymans first solo album from 1971. Includes liner notes by George Kooyman, and an 8-page booklet featuring the original album artwork and memorabilia. In between the Golden Earring albums Seven Tears and Together, guitarist George Kooymans and singer Barry Hay both worked on solo material. Kooymans’ album was released in December 1971 as Jojo and was the result of a sparkling and short period of recording sessions at the Phonogram Studio in Hilversum, where he recorded a collection of songs with some of the best Dutch session musicians – among guitarists Eelco Gelling (Cuby + Blizzards) and Hans Hollestelle and saxophone player Bertus Borgers (Sweet d’Buster). For this reissue, fifty years later, George Kooymans tells the whole story about the making of the album in the 8-page booklet.
