Details: Amazon.ca Some say that Plume Latraverse, after long periods of inspiration, began to produce an impressive number of songs in a short time. This seems to have happened with Chants d'épuration, which appeared some five years after the excellent Mixed Grill. Drummer Charles Guillemette and keyboardist Roger Gravel, whose piano playing is ubiquitous, have joined the ranks of Les Mauvais Compagnons, while Plume continues to abandon the stripped-down ensembles put to use in the early 90s. With his quintet, he touches on rock, explores the blues as only he knows how to do and allows himself some touching ballads, although his gravelly voice sometimes has trouble finding the right note. True to form, the bard of irreverence takes great pleasure in playing with words. Favoring sometimes the clumsy rhyme (the friendly "Lapin reproductive" and "Beau Filon!"), sometimes the subtle verses, he undeniably reveals himself, over the course of these 17 songs, as one of the most gifted Quebec artists. Once again, we have to admit that after 35 years in the business, Oncle Plu Plu is far from having said it all. Listening to the superb "Angélatine", "Blouse d'automne" or "Sans nom d'nom" clearly demonstrates this. --Nicolas Houle Product Description It is said that Plume Latraverse can find itself out of inspiration and writing for five years and that, suddenly, "Incontinemment", everything unblocks. One song hides another, which leads to another, which binds with another, then two others... to create a "trail" of others who were not expecting it in the least in the world. Seventeen new songs are thus incorporated on this compact disc... "CHANTS D'ÉPURATION" is an album full of life, full of colors and discoveries. A true marriage of love and humor. The texts and the music go very well together...under the magic rule of the "Bad Companions"...that time has preserved, despite everything.Plume Latraverse, this very prolific and beloved Quebec singer songwriter returns with 17 incredible new songs.
