Title: The great 1973 Johnny Hallyday album, finally on CD
Review: This is another rock'n roll gem from the most ignored rock singer in history. If you can deal with the fact that it is sung in French, you are in for a treat. It includes a superb accoustic blues penned by Hallyday himself called "La musique que j'aime", a gorgeous ballad called "La solitude" and two beautiful Hallyday originals "La prison des orphelins" and "Le droit de vivre". The personnel includes Peter Frampton, Bob Mayo and Frank Carillo on guitar and Bobby Keyes on sax. It only gets four stars because of the horrible corny "Comme un corbeau blanc" which is one of those insufferable French "variete" type of songs and an awful cover of "Suspicious minds". Every other song is great. When is this guy going to finally record an album in English? He has such a gorgeous raspy voice that you will feel like you understand the words anyway!
Is the review positive or negative?
