Blues in his piano

That may be the album of superlatives for Samson. All that is characterized Samson. First his vibrato so personal to that voice recorded here as an instrument almost drowned (but not drowned) by instrumentation both sensitive and powerful. Well-placed violins, bass present, and a battery that fits perfectly with the piano phrasing of Samson; phrasing the extended color mix of classic, blues-tinged, the implacable rhythm. And then there are his compositions as title track Vancouver, which is dedicated to much more than a chorus, a writing that is relaunching itself with marked pauses, and tensions created by the rhythm of the piano struck . And then there was his musician wife here brute sensibility that shouts love, loneliness, vulnerability. Deep poetic texts without unnecessary smears, that give this album a touch undeniable blues with pride. A great album with successful titles such Vancouver, Formidable, Give you, strange comedy.
