Where it came from
Released in 1963 on the Decca label, this single features Rob de Nijs performing Dutch-language adaptations of international hits. The A-side, 'Oh, Had Ik 'n Hamer', is a cover of the folk standard popularized by The Weavers and Peter, Paul and Mary, while the B-side, 'Hoe Heet Je', is an interpretation of the song 'Blue Velvet', famously associated with Bobby Vinton during the same era.
This recording emerged during the early phase of Rob de Nijs's career, a period marked by his transition from a teenage idol into a versatile performer within the Dutch pop scene. The production reflects the standard industry practice of the time, where European labels sought to localize successful American folk and pop compositions to cater to domestic radio markets, establishing de Nijs as a prominent voice in the developing Dutch language repertoire.
