HIGH TIME

Description

For its 50th anniversary, rediscover High Time, the first album by the group Little Bob Story, which forever marked the French rock’n’roll scene! Formed in Le Havre in 1971, Little Bob Story is one of the pioneers of French rock. Inspired by 1950s American rock’n’roll, as well as by bands like MC5 and Dr. Feelgood, the group led by Roberto Piazza developed an energetic, raw sound deeply rooted in rock tradition. In 1976, they released their first album, High Time. This record combines five original compositions and four covers of major Anglo-Saxon rock names such as Bob Dylan, Little Richard, The Animals and Willie Dixon. The arrangements, both faithful and energetic, bring a personal touch that contributes to the group’s identity. Considered one of the first great French rock albums, High Time is now a must-have for rock’n’roll fans. It also marks the beginnings of a band that would go on to achieve notable success, especially in England, a rare recognition for a French group.
