BARBES
PIERRE DE GAILLANDE/Bad Reputation: Forget Gainsborough, forget Hallyday, even forget Piaf. Georgres Brassens was one of the biggest pop stars in France but was totally unknown here. Why? This guy was probably Leonard Cohen's secret influence. Totally off the wall dive into a world of losers only Cohen and Charles Bukowski could fathom, this set that sounds like it was recorded on modern equipment during the Weimar Republic and is just the tonic for fans of Cohen that find everyone who came in his wake a mere manqué. Played with the kind of passion that comes only from a work of love, this is audio slumming at it's finest. Hop on here for a completely wild ride. 05/25/10 >> go there
