This popular singer with the husky voice revives eighteen oldies and puts his distinctive stamp on each of the songs. With hits like December ’63 – Oh What A Night, Glory Days, Sweet Home Alabama, Sylvia’s Mother, Still The Same, Radar Love, Long Cool Woman, One Man Band and an up tempo Shakin Steven’s medley, Dozi succeeds in creating the perfect party vibe.
Dozi says he handpicked all these evergreen hits for his thirteenth album.

“These are all songs I mostly played in pubs and music people request on a regular basis at my concerts. Fourth of July is the only new song on the album,” he adds.

All the songs are a good mix of all the ‘veterans’ in the music industry – including the likes of Cat Stevens, Rod Stewart, Nazareth, Dr. Hook and The Medicine Man, Golden Earring and Shakin’ Stevens. Dozi’s husky voice compliments all these legendary artists’ music and is a guarantee to be a hit at any party or sokkie.

Thys die Bosveldklong se 13e album Ek sal boertjie bly “is sommer net ‘n ietsie om die game te kyk”, vertel hy. Dis prettige, stuitige vermaak!

Thys die Bosveldklong vermaak mense nou al dertien jaar lank met sy eiesoortige humormusiek.

Op sy dertiende album Ek sal boertjie bly (sy eerste by Select-Musiek) bied hy oudergewoonte die regte lagmedisyne vir al daardie skete en pyne wat die lewe soms ondraaglik maak.

‘n Span behendige liedjieskrywers – Anton Myburgh, Leon Beukes, Ben Beukes, Reinhardt Venter en Prop van Rooyen – het die allerheerlikste musiekgenot geskep.

Gertrou aan Thys se fyn waarnemingsvermoë, skuil daar dikwels slim satire in die lirieke.

Naas die talle dans- en braaitreffers hierop, kry die luisteroor ook ‘n tikke erns. Tussen die toonvenstersnitte is die roerende liedjie Ek droom vir jou, wat Thys aan sy seuntjie opdra. Saam met Wicus van der Merwe bied hy die pragduet Namakwaland se son, ter nagedagtenis aan die onslape musiekvriend Zak van Niekerk.

Tussen die ritmelekkertes is die keurspel waarin Thys se vorige treffers – Ma sê pa sê, In die middel – Hou nie van werk nie – Jaloersbokkie en Vet pret verpak word.

Kry – en laat die game begin!

Afgesien van Suider-Afrika, het hy al opgetree in die VSA, Engeland en Nederland. Hy word wyd gerespekteer as liriekskrywer, en het reeds meer as ‘n honderd oorspronklike komposisies op CD vrygestel.

Valiant het leer kitaar speel toe hy elf jaar oud was. Hy het kort daarna liedjies begin skryf en in sy hoërskooljare in ‘n hele paar bands gespeel, van rock tot boeremusiek. Tydens sy studentejare op Stellenbosch het hy die musiek van Bob Dylan en Jimi Hendrix ontdek, en ook ‘n groot blues-aanhanger geword. Hy het in 1987 ‘n BA-graad verwerf, met as hoofvakke Afrikaans-Nederlands en Engels.

In 1988-89, tydens militêre diensplig, het hy Koos Kombuis (André Letoit) ontmoet. Hy het saam met Letoit in die rokerige kroeë van Hillbrow begin optree en hom in alle erns as Afrikaanse liedjieskrywer begin bekwaam. In 1990 het hy voltyds begin om ‘n bestaan te voer met sy liedjies en sy kitaar.

Valiant het reeds veertien CD’s die lig laat sien. Sy eerste, Die Mystic Boer, is in 1996 vrygestel. Hy was ook die produksieleier op verskeie albums van ander kunstenaars, en het gasoptredes op talle van hul albums gelewer. Van Suid-Afrika se grootste sterre, soos Laurika Rauch, Theuns Jordaan, Bok van Blerk, Piet Botha en Nic Stevens, het al van sy liedjies opgeneem, waaronder die treffers ‘Sonvanger’, ‘Eyeshadow’, ‘Jakarandastrate’ en ‘Duisend Myl Blues’. Vele kunstenaars gebruik Valiant se liedjies as deel van hul verhoog-repertoire.

In 2001 het kykNet hom op ‘n blues-reis na Amerika gestuur. Die resultaat was die dokumentêre TV-reeks, Veertig dae deur die Delta , waarmee kykers getrakteer is op Valiant se blues-avonture in Tennessee, Mississippi en Louisiana. Die sukses van hierdie reeks het gelei tot sy akteursdebuut, in die hoofrol as dr Jinx in kykNet se Song vir Katryn trefferreekse. Met rekord-kyksyfers en ‘n klankbaan-album wat goue status verwerf het, het “Katryn” van Valiant ‘n huishoudelike naam gemaak.

Die afgelope paar jaar het hy voorts gewildheid verwerf as rubriekskrywer vir die tydskrifte rooirose en Baba en Kleuter, waarin die lief en leed van sy status as ruk-en-rol gesinsman op dikwels komiese wyse weergegee word. Ander artikels uit sy pen het al verskyn in Insig, Wegbreek en Sports Illustrated.

Valiant is ‘n vurige ondersteuner van die Springbokke en die Proteas. Hy skree ook hartstogtelik vir die WP, die Stormers en Maties. In sy vrye tyd vang hy vis, lees en fliek tuis, en versamel rooiwyn en goedkoop kuns. Hy ry ‘n swart 1968 Valiant Rebel sonder wieldoppe, en ook ‘n ou Nissan Hardbody bakkie.

Op ‘n vorige sensusvorm is hy formeel as ‘ongeskoolde trekarbeider’ genoteer, en by sy terugkeer na ‘n vroeëre besoek aan die buiteland is hy amptelik die RSA as ‘soothsayer’ binnegelaat.
