JOJO

Description

Between Golden Earring's albums 'Seven Tears' and 'Together', guitarist George Kooymans and singer Barry Hay both worked on solo material. Kooymans' album 'Jojo' was released in December 1971 and was the result of a short and sparkling period of recording sessions at PhonogramStudio in Hilversum, where he recorded a collection of songs with some of the best Dutch session musicians – including guitarists Eelco Gelling (Cuby + Blizzards) and Hans Hollestelle and saxophonist Bertus Borgers (Sweet d'Buster). Thanks to the spontaneous recordings, personal lyrics – with the help of George's friends Bruce Kirkman and Jerry Voisin – and string arrangements by Harry van Hoof, 'Jojo' achieved cult status and became a collector's item shortly after its release.
