Singer, guitarist and songwriter Wouter Planteydt is the leader of Sjako! The band took a break in 1998 after the release of the Note CD, which gave Planteydt the opportunity to record his first solo album. He then returns to his pop and blues roots and shows the more complicated jazzy side of Sjako! just for what it is. Planteydt W. sounds like an uncut diamond, with rough guitar and drum parts
… and songs that seem to be kept demo-like on purpose. In addition to beautiful pop songs such as This Is Good, Really Everything, Rough Quarter and the ballad Take It Easy, the CD contains the Neil Young-like My Daddy and the unruly blues instrumental Blues For Me. (WvdZ)more
