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
