Lenny Kuhr - Lenny Kuhr
A new record from the Grande Dame of Dutch song.
With songs by Spinvis and Stef Bos, among others.
That we may still experience this: Lenny Kuhr (71), Eurovision Song Contest winner of 1969, makes his debut on Excelsior Recordings.
The comparison with Johnny Cash is obvious. While Cash returned in the autumn of his career with stripped-down music, Lenny Kuhr's new untitled album is a richly arranged pop album. "I felt carried by the music," says Kuhr about her 33rd album . Lenny Kuhr is brimming with vitality: eleven rock-solid and varied songs, sung with the still crystal-clear voice of La Kuhr, arranged with great feeling by Reyer Zwart and recorded in three wonderful weeks with Frans Hagenaars, Excelsior's house producer. So at the beginning of the new year, one of the icons of Dutch song comes with such an overwhelming album that Lenny Kuhr could easily end up back in the spotlight. Also to her own cheerful surprise. "I can also sing poppy, apparently."
