VRPO 3voor12: “with Soul Cream Head Shake, Yonkhear proves to be able to write fine songs and decorate them with even better arrangements”

Live in Your Living Room-founder Kees Jonkheer end 2011 released his debut-album Soul Cream Head Shake. The cd is recorded at IJland Studios, Amsterdam, and mastered by Darius van Helfteren of Amsterdam Mastering.

 

On Soul Cream Head Shake, Kees assembled a great band of talented musicians.

Also, apart from the vocals, Kees plays a lot of instruments himself, such as bass, rythm guitar and harmonica.

References other musicians make to Case Yonkhear: John Cale, early David Bowie, Fleet Foxes, and Ryan Adams.
