ELLE ET LOUIS (1993)
320 KBPS

When, after years with his historic band Téléphone and his following project Les Visiteurs, Loui Bertignac finally launches his solo career, he meant business. Recorded in New York with producer Tony Visconti (Bowie, T Rex, etc.), this album also features a bunch of talented session-men: Manu Katché (Sting, Peter Gabriel) on drums, Spyros Poulos on the piano and Richie Canata on saxophone. The lyrics, written by Olivier Lorsac, are quite good and perfectly fit Bertignac's world. Of course, you have the leader's guitar, a thing he's reknown for. In fact, he's in awesome form throughout the whole album. But, most important of all, one can feel the pleasure the musicians here present have taken in recording these songs which makes of Elle Et Lous an entertaining listening experience. In addition, you have the acoustic live sessions recorded by Bertignac and included in a limited version of the album. It's a nice pack every rock lover should try.
