Ricky Koole is not a very well-known name yet. Yet she is working hard as an actress, with roles in Lek, De Jurk and Wit Licht. Koole is also a very deserving singer, who also has a walking music encyclopedia as partner in Leo Blokhuis. She undertook a short acoustic tour with guitarists Eric van Dijsseldonk and Wouter Plantevragen, during which Blokhuis provided the songs with entertaining anecdotes.
Koole has a beautiful, powerful voice, which at most lacks some character. Both Dijsseldonk and Planteieding get the spotlight on themselves with their respective versions of It Makes No Difference (The Band) and That's The Way The World Goes Round (John Prine). Recordings from that tour now appear on CD, in a double digipack that also includes Koole's self-titled 2007 album. (MS)more
