The inspiration behind the choice of these songs was: "I
always loved Jim Reeves and Charley Pride songs. Since I was a
boy I sung these songs and always dreamed of becoming an artist
performing Country music."
" My birth date is almost the same as Jim Reeves, I
think his is on the 21st of August and mine the 20th. I
experience a lot of meaning in the words of these songs and
sometimes it heels a broken heart! I can also repeat Jim's
words: 'Although I sing a lot of very sad songs I really
am a very happy person'.
This album, being Country is a firm favourite with young and
old but his choice of songs for the future is not limited to
country songs. We can expect to hear Afrikaans and other popular
songs as well. Henri just completed his first Afrikaans song and
this one will be included in his next album. The next album will
be a mixture of Afrikaans and English songs. “I need to get my
kids involved too!”
His Second Country Album, "Im Just Me" was released early 2010 and is a tribute to Charley Pride. These are the songs:
- I'm Just me
- All I Have to Offer You is Me
- Guess things happen that way
- Does my Ring Hurt Your Finger?
- The Easy Part's Over Now
- Crystal Chandeliers
- I Can't Believe You Stopped Loving me
- (She's Just) An Old Love Turned Memory
- (I'm So) Afraid of Losing You Again
- Roll on Mississippi
- It's Gonna Take a Little Longer
