Opo - "Opo I & Opo II" {Netherlands} (75-77) (folk)

I couldnt find a review/info to copy/paste here. Nice Dutch folk. Some songs on the albums may make you feel like, you are at Shire/LOTR.

    Opo only made two albums: "Fallen Asleep Just Like Papa" & "Opo 2".

    The first Opo album on Legendary Stoof Label. AA folk album of a very high quality and of great importance. Fantastic Female voice by Lenneke de Vries and supported with multi-talented artists, using a widespread traditional instruments. Opo has a wonderful TUDOR LODGE like chorus and sound. A folk killer! As this Dutch folk is recently becoming rarer and rarer.
