Kees van Kooten - Koot Graaft Zich Autobio
Review by Richard Logtenberg
Koot Graaft Zich Autobio is a remarkable album by Kees van Kooten that showcases his talent as a storyteller and musician. The album features a collection of songs that are deeply personal and reflective, drawing on Kooten's experiences and memories to create a rich tapestry of emotions and insights.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Het Is Stil In Amsterdam", a haunting and melancholic ballad that captures the mood of a city in lockdown. Kooten's lyrics are poignant and evocative, painting a picture of a deserted Amsterdam that is both beautiful and eerie.
Another standout track is "De Tegenpartij", a satirical song that takes aim at the political climate in the Netherlands. Kooten's lyrics are witty and incisive, skewering politicians and their empty promises with razor-sharp precision.
Throughout the album, Kooten's musical talent shines through, with his acoustic guitar and warm, soulful voice providing the perfect accompaniment to his poignant lyrics. The production is simple and understated, allowing Kooten's songs to speak for themselves.

Notes
- Dolby
- The track list on the inside of the box erroneously states track B2 as "Mijn Fiets", but the correct title, as in the actual book, should read "Mijn Fietsen". The two tapes cover a selection from the original chapters from "Koot Graaft Zich Autobio" but not the entire book. As stated in the intro of the first tape, the writer tells that he only reads the stories that address the returning subject of his father and his father's death.
- Track duration noted down while listening to the audio book in question.
- A later version, reissued in 1991, contains 5 instead of 8 stories and can be found here.
- Recorded in Hilversum, The Netherlands, in 1987. Reissued in 1991. Unlike the original 1987 release, this 1991 reissue omits the stories "Zijn Schoenen", "Mijn Fietsen" en "De Gestranden". Release has no cat.nr. printed on tape nor on sleeve.
