Introducing, The Very Girls: Aggie de Kruijf & Ankie Keultjes, (ok, lets just get to know them by Aggie & Ankie). The Eindhoven-based (thats in the southern part of Holland) Very Girls have a sound thats a little bit Americana, a little bit Euro-Folk, according to Very Girl, Ankie Keultjes, and oh yes, even a little bit Bluegrass. Think Emmylou Harris meets the Roches, or perhaps, Nanci Griffith meets the Andrew 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). Eleven of the twelve tracks on their new release, Elsewhere Bound, 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 & engineered by Very Girl, Ankie Keultjes, and the CDs bonus track, A Letter To Your Wedding, was captured live at Houstons 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). 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.
