Kooymans / Carillo - On Location (2010)

posted by record facts

George Jan Kooymans (born 11 March 1948, The Hague, Netherlands) is a Dutch guitarist and vocalist. He is best known for his work with the Dutch group Golden Earring.

Frank Carillo (born July 14, 1950) is an American rock musician. In 1971, manager Phil Lorito formed a band around Frank Carillo called Doc Holliday, with Carillo, Bob Mayo, Tom Arlotta and Bob Liggio. In 1973 they released one album, Doc Holliday.

Frank Carillo and George Kooymans are longtime friends. They have been writing together on and off since the mid-1990s. In April 2010, this resulted in their first album, On Location. Frank is also a supreme producer. When combined with George Kooymans, the results are mixed at best. I like the Carillo-penned songs like “Maybe Roses Never Die” and “Temptation” which stand out on this album. The title track “On Location” is also a winner.

There are more of Kooymans-penned songs that to me do not make it especially lyric-wise. If you are unfamiliar with this team I’d recommend you getting the Millbrook album instead by Golden Earring on which Frank Carillo also appears, or better-yet get the latest Carillo album with the Bandeleros.
