Jo Butagaz Et Ses Brûleurs - A la scène comme à la ville

Review by Prince Avenido

Jo Butagaz Et Ses Brûleurs' album A la scène comme à la ville is a delightful mix of classic French chanson and contemporary rock. The album features Butagaz's distinctive vocals, which are both soulful and playful, and the Brûleurs' tight musicianship, which blends traditional instruments like accordion and trumpet with electric guitar and drums.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "La Java des Bombes Atomiques," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. Other standout tracks include "Le Chant des Partisans," a rousing anthem of resistance, and "La Ballade de Johnny Jane," a bittersweet ballad about a doomed love affair.

Throughout the album, Butagaz's lyrics are witty and poetic, often drawing on French literary and cultural references. The band's arrangements are equally inventive, blending different genres and styles to create a sound that is uniquely their own.

Summary by Prince Avenido
