Lydie Auvray
REGARDS - LYDIE AUVRAY
One: Because she is flavouring the CD
with ample amount of chilli pepper without changing its original
sound.
Two: Even though she is principally not a singer, but an
accordionist, she sings beautiful songs.
Three: Then when you least expect it she performs a version
of "Stairway to Heaven” by Led Zepplin that provides a
delicate contrast to the other complex tracks on this CD.
Four: Because "Guinguette” is accompanied by Marc
Ribot on guitar and which is very pleasing.
Five - "Joschi” captivates us with its off beat
tempo and tormenting melody.
Six: the sun comes out again with the African riff of "Regard”.
Seven: hearing this CD leaves a good taste in ones mouth,
the sort that wants you to listen to it all over again.
Eight: what a varied CD this is; starting from Europe it
touches many parts of the world without ever being unoriginal.
Nine: it imposes the accordion as leader of the group whilst
leaving the compositions themselves to dazzle.
Ten: Actually – no wish for reviewing during this time
of the year: summer - sun & sea…heat…who wants to
sit in front of a computer? But as soon as I heard this CD I changed
my mind and here I am humming it to myself. So here we are: - ten
good reasons- (but could certainly continue indicate other excellent
points….) to enjoy fifty minutes of good music in good company….and
this is not bad at all – isn’t it?
