CD ReviewsUnbeatable C. Fasy | 05/30/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Yves Duteil's name is a house-hold word in France. Before Jack Johnson, there was Yves Duteil. This collection is unbeatable. Trying to collect Mr. Duteil's albums can be problematic at best, especially in the US. Here we have 101 songs by a master singer-songwriter who is gentle and entertaining. Even if you don't understand French, the songs are moving and beautiful. If you do understand French, the facility and cleverness of the lyrics combined with deceptively simple tunes (more often than not strummed on his ever present guitar) make a silky mix. His song, Prendre un Enfant is a standard in Europe, and was voted one of the Songs of the Century there. My favorites are La Puce et La Pianiste, Lucille et Les Libellules and Le Mur de la Prison d'en Face, but all of these songs are good. Very highly recommended." Pour l'amour de le musique James M. Christensen | 10/01/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have never experienced another artist who speaks to my heart like Duteil. He is a poet first and a singer second, but his music is still so beautiful that you will love it even if you don't understand the words. Yves Duteil is emotional, sentimental, even corny, but his ability to capture life in words and then put those words to music is unmatched by any other singer, in any language. Don't pass up the chance to own 100 songs by one of the worlds' greatest living musicians for under twelve bucks."
