Les murs de poussière

Description

"Les murs de poussière": the first album by Francis Cabrel, originally released in 1977: It is the hit song "Petite Marie" that earned Francis Cabrel a win in a contest organized by Sud Radio, leading him to meet producer Richard Seff and record this very first album which, through its 11 tracks, distills the charm and sensitivity of a young songwriter destined to leave a mark on French song with his exceptional talent. From the very first song he wrote, "Ma ville," to "Petite Marie," dedicated to his wife, and "Les Murs de poussière," which are now among the classics of his repertoire, one is touched by the finesse of his poetry, by his romanticism at the heart of his writing, by his guitar playing, by the nuances of his interpretation, by the emotion it conveys. And already one becomes attached to his original personality and to that sunny accent that Cabrel has never sought to disguise. A sketch of his future work, this first album contains its fertile seeds.
