Anouk has been on top of the Dutch music scene since her big breakthrough in 1997 with the single Nobody’s Wife. This rock ballad reached #2 on the Dutch Top 40 and later also hit the top 10 on other European charts, especially in Flanders and the Nordic countries. Nobody’s Wife is featured on Anouk’s debut album Together Alone, which came out that same year and inlcuded two other charting singles: It’s So Hard and Sacrifice. The album was produced by Barry Hay and George Kooymans, both from the Golden Earring, and received three platinum awards. Together Alone is available as a limited edition on crystal clear vinyl and includes a 4-page booklet with lyrics.
