ARNO

ARNO
RATATA (1990)
320 KBPS

With this 1990 release (his third), Arno continues his little trip through rock blues and chanson. Those familiar with the artist (and this blog where many of his recordings have been posted in the past few weeks) know there's always good things to get on an Arno album, this one, of course, is no different. His unique voice and tasteful lyrics are, once again displayed as well as his Tom Waits' influence though not as marked as it would be in the future. All in all, this is yet another fine album from Arnaud Charles Ernest Hintjens (his real name), something people of taste know not to miss.
