Toon Hermans - Toon

Review by Rachael Malone

Toon Hermans, a Dutch comedian and singer, released his album Toon in 1966. The album consists of 12 tracks, all of which showcase Hermans' unique blend of comedy and music.

The album starts with "De Appelboom," a whimsical song about an apple tree that Hermans sings with a childlike innocence. It's a lighthearted track that sets the tone for the rest of the album.

Hermans' comedic side shines through on tracks like "De Dubbelganger" and "De Schildpad," where he uses his quick wit and wordplay to make listeners laugh. His ability to switch between humor and heartfelt emotion is showcased on tracks like "De Oude School" and "De Kat."

The musical arrangements on the album are simple yet effective, with Hermans' voice and guitar taking center stage. The album's production quality may not be up to modern standards, but it adds to the album's charm and nostalgic appeal.

Summary by Rachael Malone

Toon is a delightful album that showcases Toon Hermans' unique talent as a comedian and musician. It's a must-listen for fans of Dutch comedy and music, and anyone looking for a lighthearted and entertaining album.
