Hell of a bang
Details: Amazon.ca Too long without news since this disc devoted to Georges Brassens and published in 1996. Renaud had fled the world, the studios, the celebrity. Depression, separation, but also alcohol have punctuated this way of the cross that he assumes through this highly anticipated album. The singer finally breaks the silence by making a hellish Boucan. Low profile, as endearing as ever, the newsboy from the suburbs nonetheless remains a pamphleteer and settles his accounts with a slew of murderous rhymes ("I live hidden", "Manhattan-Kabul" with Axelle Red) or wounded ("Lost heart ", "All stop"…) and vitriolic self-portrait ("Doctor Renaud, Mister Renard"). Entirely in the hands of Jean-Pierre Bucolo (arrangements, production and compositions), these songs reveal a lively Renaud who has never been so badly barred, even if in this one ("Mal barrers"), he claims to speak from someone else. However, he retains a mischievous and caustic verve ("Elle a vu le loup", "L'Entarté", "Mon nain de jardin"). And if this album was that of the rebirth? --Valérie Dupouy Product Description 2002 Studio Recording in an Exclusively Packaged CD/BOOK Combination Including Picures by Titouan Lamazou.
