I am absolutely not a fan of Joan Cherhal. Especially made by ignorance of this accomplished artist because we must recognize that it has a lot of talent. Anyway, I bought this album primarily for my wife. Out of curiosity I listened to my stereo system. And here I am still amazed! The sound recording is perfect, sensual rendering is palpable and a musically it's really impressive. It sounds like a good old album of the 70s it seems that the album was recorded in live conditions and with analog equipment; but why is it not the same for all current productions that often ring hollow, lifeless?
