Freddy Maertens Wordt Kampioen, the latest album by De Carpenter Boys, is a tribute to Belgian cyclist Freddy Maertens. The album is a combination of rock and folk music, and features 11 tracks that capture the spirit of Maertens' cycling career.
The album opens with "Freddy Maertens Wordt Kampioen," a catchy and upbeat track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The lyrics are in Dutch, but even non-Dutch speakers can appreciate the energy and passion of the song.
The album also features slower, more introspective tracks, such as "De Koers Van Het Leven" and "De Val." These songs showcase the band's versatility and ability to create music that is both meaningful and enjoyable to listen to.
