Amazon.ca There are the unconditional and there are the others. Those who recognize in Richard Séguin the sincere commitment and the inspired musician, but who are sometimes irritated by the somewhat emphatic lyricism and the easy rhyme. These Open letters, concocted after a few years of withdrawal, should rally everyone. We find there the themes dear to the singer: the attachment to the land and the safeguard of the environment, love and friendship, filiation and roots, travel. And, for a rare time, Séguin the modest gives himself up, to the I, under cover of letters to his daughter, to his sister, to himself; or sometimes by slipping into the skin of characters. Perhaps we do not find here a great unifying anthem like "I knock on the doors of the morning", but several superb songs, intimate and vibrant, with melodies and finely worked harmonies, are well worth the detour. The voice seems more modulated and the whole thing gives the impression of greater variety. To tell the truth, it is perhaps the best of Séguin that these open letters that we no longer expected. --Pascale Millot
