Henri Tisot - La Chèvre De Monsieur Seguin

Review by Chris Staines

Henri Tisot's album La Chèvre De Monsieur Seguin is a delightful collection of music that tells the story of a goat named Blanchette and her desire to escape the confines of her pen and explore the world beyond. The album features a mix of traditional French folk tunes and original compositions by Tisot, all performed with a charming simplicity that perfectly captures the innocence and wonder of Blanchette's journey.

The album's opening track, "La Chèvre De Monsieur Seguin," sets the tone perfectly with its upbeat melody and playful lyrics about Blanchette's determination to break free from her pen. Other standout tracks include "La Complainte De La Chèvre," a haunting ballad that tells the story of Blanchette's tragic end, and "Le Petit Berger," a lively tune that celebrates the joys of life in the countryside.
