Difficult to summarize the first twenty years of Daniel Boucher 's career on a single album. Identify the path, wild and loose, of the songwriter. Open the door to the suite, too.
We had to choose.
So we went to the big tunes.
Most of the big hits, in fact.
Because in the case of Daniel Boucher , the expression "big tune" lends itself to all sorts of interpretations.
But we made a first, heartbreaking sorting.
His tunes, Daniel likes them long.
The result, for a vinyl, was tight.
We had to cut again.
Here is our selection of the crème de la crème… In our very humble opinion.
Imperfect selection, because incomplete.
Partial selection.
Questionable.
Biased.
Assumed.
For the first time in physical format in ages, the song Chez nous .
And a short story, The Festive Cakes , the one that most represents the Daniel of 2019, a fulfilled dad, a musician increasingly close to himself, in perpetual learning, less and less inclined to commercial compromises...
Which, in his case, is saying something.
So it appears to us, on the top of the cover, wearing the same expression, both in 1999 and in 2019.
Discover, or rediscover, among other things, all these good tunes...
