(5 out of 5 stars)
"Brassens is the greatest poet of his generation.He is warm, friendly and addresses life with humor and philosophy.In this recording he has put into music the text of some of his favorite poets such as Aristide Bruant or Alfred de Musset . He takes us into the deep Paris(le ventre de Paris) where prostitutes and johns rule the street, by the Place Maubert or Menilmontant (not the usual touristic circuit) , back in time to fabled kings with bunions !!! and especially to his favorite country: " la Provence" ,in the marshes of the Camargue.With Brassens you feel closer to life, a little more human, a little more free.Discover him as all his records are amazing !"
