Details: Product Description Boucher, Daniel Amazon.ca Upon its release in 2000, Dix mille matins, the debut album from Daniel Boucher, won over thousands of fans. Raving reviews, flattering comparisons ("the new Charlebois—the one from 'Lindberg,' of course"), and a shower of awards highlighted the quality of the work of this young singer-songwriter. Inspired and original, Boucher writes in a spoken language deeply rooted in the reality of Quebec, which is enough to ruffle the feathers of the Académie française ("pis c'est d'même pis c'est toutte" [and that's the way it is, that's all], "ça marche drette, tsé" [it works right, you know], "emberlificotaillé dans mes rêves" [tangled up in my dreams]). The title of his now-famous song "Ma Gang de malades!" has almost become a common expression in Quebec! There is a rare authenticity in Boucher that strikes a chord with the nationalist fiber of Quebecers and puts this debut album in a class of its own. Listening to Dix mille matins (the title refers to the number of days that elapsed between Boucher's birth and the creation of the album), one enters a very personal universe where poetry, humor, rebellion, existential angst, and nonchalance collide. All wrapped in a very polished production by Marc Pérusse. --Jean-Yves Girard
