Details: It was in Louisiana, in the heart of the bayou, that CharlÉlie Couture went to record his 20th studio album. A raw and festive album that perfectly summarizes the essence of the music he has been creating for nearly four decades: an intense and deep blues, warm and humid, between mist and moonlight. It was at the famous Dockside Studio, which has seen illustrious visitors like Taj Mahal, B.B. King, Allen Toussaint, and Dr. John, that CharlÉlie took up residence, accompanied by local virtuosos. Accordion, mandolin, fiddle, washboard, harmonica, sax, trumpet, and tuba punctuate these 13 songs, in French and English. Zachary Richard, a native of the area, even joins his voice with CharlÉlie's on two tracks. The result, co-produced by the artist and his guitarist Karim Attoumane, lives up to the challenge. We discover feverish grooves ("Déconner," "Debout dans la boue"), love laments ("Annie," "Baby Blue"), epic road movies ("30 Years Outside," with Dylanesque accents, "Le danger sur la piste," a Sioux thriller), and moving ballads ("Un jour les anges" and especially "Chanson sous-sol," which might remind some of a famous plane without wings...).
