The name of Wally Tax cannot be seen in isolation from The Outsiders, the illustrious Amsterdam beat band, which caused an international furore from 1966 to 1969. With The Entertainer, the charismatic singer delivers a full studio album for the first time in years. He is assisted by fans from the Amsterdam musician world such as guitarist Ross Curry (ex-Spo-Dee-O-Dee), bassist George Oostdijk (ex-Jack
… Of Hearts), Robin Berlin (ex-Fatal Flowers), Jan Smit and Monique Klemann (Lois Lane). The production was in the hands of JB Meijers (ex-Supersub), who has found an admirable balance between the raw sixties sound of The Outsiders and a well-balanced sound quality. But the most impressive impression is the voice of Tax, which has only gained in expressiveness over the years. (MS)more
