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 sums up the essence of the music he has been creating for almost 4 decades: an intense and deep blues, warm and humid, between mist and moonlight. It is at the famous Dockside Studio, which has known illustrious visitors such as Taj Mahal or BBKing, Allen Toussaint or Dr John, that CharlÉlie has taken up residence, accompanied by local virtuosos. Accordion, mandolin, fiddle, washboard, harmonica, sax, trumpet and tuba chant these 13 songs, in French and in English. Zachary Richard, a native of the place, even comes to mix his voice with that of CharlÉlie on two titles. The result, co-produced by the artist and his guitarist Karim Attoumane, is up to the challenge. We discover feverish turnings ("Déconner", "Debout dans lamud"), amorous laments ("Annie", "Baby Blue"), epic road movies ("30 Years Outside", with Dylanian accents, "Le danger sur la piste", Sioux thriller) and moving ballads ("Un jour les anges" and especially "Chanson sous-sol", which may remind some of a famous wingless airplane...).
