If you like EXCITABLE BOY, try SENTIMENTAL HYGIENE, MY RIDE'S HERE, and LIFE'LL KILL YA. His version of BACK IN THE HIGH LIFE, is heartbreaking. So far Excitable Boy is on repeat so freaking much, it's such a perfect album. I've also checked out his The Envoy album, which I found quite good, particularly the ending track Never Too Late for Love. Thanks for recommendations, I'll check 'em out! I'm surprised this stuff isn't more well known, it's exceptional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,544 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 He's what you might call a cult. Though certainly not in style, I would group him with the likes of Ry Cooder, Al Stewart, J.J.Cale, Steve Hackett, and Jackson Browne: solid artists who always seem to be on the cusp of major international success, and yet never quite make it.

Speaking of JB, if you like Warren Zevon, there are a good number of free live recordings to stream or download at archive.org, including this collaboration of the two: https://archive.org/details/wz1976-12-08.sbeok.flac16 Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,483 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 A beautiful Charles Aznavour album, very sixties.

Naïve Old Fart 9,544 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Nice, but...is it me, or does it sound like the child/hybrid of that BOM-DIDDY-BOM song, on the island, in SKYFALL, and that awful thing by Leonard Cohen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,483 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I don't know what you are talking about, but it's typical "yé-yé" song. It has been written in 1962... At this time Aznavour was a little old already (38 yo) to sing that kind of songs, but he did it pretty successfully. He wrote many yé-yé songs for younger artists too. The "hit" on this album was this song: Come to see the comedians To see the musicians To see the magicians Who arrive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,544 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Also nice. The Cohen song is "Hallelujah" (), and the "Bom" song is heard on Silva's island. You must have heard of both of them, being French-Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have heard of both of them, being French-Canadian. I must say, I'm not really a fan of Cohen. He's more a poet than a singer to me. I never connected (so far) with his material. I'm young to listen to Aznavour... but I connected... his way of singing the time that passes... the youth that passes... It's pretty unique. I'm fascinated by men that have a woman sensibility and used it in their art, without being ashamed of it. So this is why I'm also a fan of Roy Orbison.

Bespin 8,483 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 And well.. I love Aznavour because he wrote "Comme ils disent" in 1972. That was bold (daring?). In french, he sings "Je suis un homme, Oh..., comme il disent" (I'm a man... Ohhh... like they say). Of course "un homme, oh", sounds like "un homo"... In the english version, this play on word is lost.. but the translation is very good too, one of his best one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
