JE REVE QUE JE DORE

Philippe LEOTARD was first a philosophy teatcher, and then an actor incredible, a singer and badly a junky !
He often played bad cops who hit easy girls !
For this LP he worked with Art Mengo that had his fame with two or three songs in the end 80's.
Orchestrations are really cool !
In a way it is the French spleen ! Our Tom Waits !

COMMENT TE DIRE ADIEU

Many years after her beginning, she's still "la petite Françoise" !
One the rare french singer that go throught the Channnel !
For this LP, she worked with the Master Serge GAINSBOURG : "Comment Te Dire Adieu ?"
Nice cover of George BRASSENS : "Il N'y A Pas D'amour Heureux", lyrics are a poetry of Louis ARAGON a french poet and a bit communist ! ;-)
An other cover of Leonard Cohen : "Suzanne" , this one is in french, I'll post soon her cover in english !

IL VOYAGE EN SOLITAIRE

In Fact this is one of the LP's I've been born and bread !
Gerad MANSET is rare and kind of prescious !
At first his study art then makes his way as singer/songwriter and novelist.
It sometime sound like Beatles, sometimes drums sound like Marvin GAYE !
