Meester Prikkebeen, the collaborative album by Boudewijn De Groot and Elly Nieman, is a delightful collection of songs that captures the essence of Dutch folk music. The album is a tribute to the character of Meester Prikkebeen, a figure from Dutch folklore, and the songs are based on his whimsical adventures.

The album opens with the title track, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song features a catchy melody and playful lyrics that are sure to get stuck in your head.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "De Tuinman en de Dood," a haunting ballad that tells the story of a gardener who is visited by Death. The song is beautifully arranged, with Nieman's vocals perfectly complementing De Groot's guitar playing.
