Details: Product Description Desjardins, Richard Amazon.ca A pivotal disc in the musical history of Quebec, Tu m'aime-tu revealed to the Francophonie the talent and tender passion of one of the greatest contemporary Quebec poets. Although he had distinguished himself in another later acclaimed masterpiece ( The Last Humans), as well as with his group Abbittibbi, Richard Desjardins had until then remained in the shadows. Do you love me, however, would provoke a resounding consecration of the darling of Abitibi. Difficult to remain insensitive to the verb, the humor and the finesse of the one who handles both chiseled verse and the language of the soil. A grumbling polemicist, filmmaker and rocker, Desjardins whispers here life and cries out love in raw, frank and crazy terms, disarming his audience with, for his only artillery, a piano, a guitar and belly, in songs that have become true classics. (“Nataq”, “I slept in my tank” and the superb “Tu m'aimes-tu”, taken up later by Francis Cabrel). An amalgam of touches as poignant as they are delicate, Tu m'aimes-tu remains a record that is at once simple, powerful and beautiful, beautiful to cry about. -- Gary Lawrence
