ALAIN SOUCHON
TOTO 30 ANS, RIEN QUE DU MALHEUR... (1978)
320 KBPS

Fourth album from Alain Souchon, "Toto 30 ans, Rien que du Malheur" is also one of his very best. On this one, Alain displays the same fragile grace he did on the previous but with more adult themes aka themes of lost youth. There's not one single weak song here and the production and arrangements, typical of the French chanson of the 70s add an undeniable charm to the lot.
As with his previous offerings, the biggest disappointment here is how short the album is (around 36 minutes) but the quality of the album saves the day. A must hear for anyone into French chanson and quality music.
