Georges Brassens - "2ème série [Le vent]" (1954)

The highly regarded sophomore album from this widely acclaimed French singer/songwriter. I threw it on while playing with my one year-old daughter yesterday & it certainly has its moments. I do think that you need to speak French to fully grasp the appeal though as it's heavily driven by the story-telling aspect so it ended up falling a bit flat, despite its incredibly short run time of just 23 minutes.

For fans of Renaud, Jacques Brel & Jacques Higelin.

3/5

Elliott Smith - "Either/Or" (1997)

I don't mind this American indie folk singer/songwriter although I do have to admit that I can't see why he's quite as revered as he is. I don't think he has enough depth to his music for that but I can still appreciate the appeal of these short-&-sweet folk songs.

For fans of Bright Eyes, Daniel Johnston & Sufjan Stevens.

3.5/5
