COLETTE MAGNYBLUES (1991)
320 KBPS
A skilled pianist (listen to her Chopin in the opening of the Cd), powerful and emotional vocalist and, above all, a true rebel, Colette Magny died in 1997. Blues is her final album and what an album! A while back, I posted "Mélocoton", her debut, on which her unique talent to mix blues, jazz and chanson was not yet assured but still very promising. On Blues, she reminds us all that and a little more through originals and covers on which her powerful voice shines.
Colette never had the success she deserved, her bad temper and strong character, her political left-wing activism, unwillingness to conform to commercial standards and, let's face it, her rotund figure only lead her to a cult following but, not unlike her male counterpart Léo Ferré, she didn't need more and remains a well kept secret and a unique artist and Blues a terrific testament.

Merci, vraiment. Je ne connaissais que Melocoton et c'est un plaisir de découvrir cet album.
C'est tout le problème, on ne connaît que Melocoton alors que toutes les chansons de Colette Magny méritent qu'on s'y arrête un peu. Merci !
Je n'ai pas vérifié le tracklisting en détail, mais il me semble qu'il s'agit d'une réédition de l'album "chansons pour titine" de 1983, avec une pochette différente (la mienne représente le visage de Colette en noir et blanc). Merci.
Suite à ton commentaire, j'ai repris le cd et il s'avère que tu as parfaitement raison.
Si il n'est nulle part fait mention du titre original de l'album, les enregistrements sont datés d'octobre 1982 à mars 1983. sous la direction d'Alain Cluzeau.
Il n'en demeure pas mins que, quelque soit son titre, cet un excellent album.
Merci pour l'info néanmoins.
