THOMAS FERSEN
GRATTE LA PUCE:
BEST OF DE POCHE (2007)
192 KBPS
During his childhood, he was part of a punk group before playing the piano in café-theatres. He released his first album in 1993; it gave him immediate name recognition.
Fersen is an accomplished poet who regularly plays with language, using puns, rich rhymes, symbols and images taken from the realms of plants (vegetables, fruits) and animals (birds and various beasts) to tell stories or original fables, to recreate moments from daily life, impressions and sentiments, and also the dreams of ordinary people and their failings and faults. His deep and gravelly smoker's voice gives a particular tone to his songs, which belong to different musical styles depending on the album (rock, folk-rock or jazz and blues).
Not the kind of artist to do what you expect him to, Fersen decided it would be more fun to record his best songs with a ukulele as sole instrument instead of releasing a "normal" best of compilation. Guess what? He was right and "Gratte la Puce: Best of de Poche" is indeed a sweet treat you don't want to miss...Even if you don't like the ukulele!

ouééééééééééééé, Thomas Fersen!
Un de mes préférés! Un jour je l'ai entendu répéter lors d'un festival, de l'autre côté de la paroi de la salle de concert (fermée): un concert gratis, avec le son, sans l'image!
en effet, grand choix
ai achete ce cd pour "Georges" et comme d' hab' ai tout aimé
