As little boys they might have dreamed about it: visiting the famous Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. Thomas Acda and Paul de Munnik entered the musically canonized ground for the recording of their fourteenth album. And so the duo took place in rooms where previously Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Bono stood behind the microphone. The result is' t Heerst, which was taken up in only nine
… days. Those nine days were apparently enough, because Acda & De Munnik are again very strong with witty and especially striking lyrics. An example is the single Pedestal Stand, which recognizes how the motto 'just act normal, then be crazy enough' in today's Dutch society is still not subject to inflation. 't Heerst is emotional and entertains with the lovely Sugar And Vinegar, the strong Hé Mooi Vriend and the homage to our capital, Amsterdam (He Die Strollers). The visit to The Sun Studios brought out the best in the duo. (BvdV)more
