Title: skip this one if you're looking for the blues
Review: To be fair, I've only listened to this album once, and sometimes albums take a while to grow on me. But this collection makes it seem that French women cannot sing the blues! The strongest tracks here come from (American) Abbey Lincoln and Nina Simone; the others are the sort of wispy, breathy fluff that I imagine French parents listened to in the 1960s the way mine listened to Mantovani and Doris Day. You might like this style or not, but it's not the blues, so pass this one up if that's what you're looking for.
