Papa, Fais Pas Ca

“Since the appearance of Benoit Blue Boy’s first LP for Vogue in 1978, he’s released some fifteen albums where “Petits Boogies” and “Blues au bout d’mon lit” have slipped in the “Porte en arriEre” to celebrate his idea of French Speaking Blues. For Franck Goldwasser, on the other hand, the blues played on the West Coast had nothing French about it at all. For the first time, the former Parisianturned- pure-west-coast-bluesman drops his English and resorts to his native tongue.” StEphane COLIN
