Is it necessary when Johnny Hallyday describe enough? Daussi far as I remember, Johnny was always in the landscape, Hold the night in 1961 or the arms crossed in 1962, are engraved in my memory as tin whistle of air from Goodnight small. Jojo or hate it but we love him in the latter case often for good reasons, of course we can laugh his jacket exudes an reversals (hippie, jacket, leather, etc.), his private life and his comments in an interview but overall musically The guy has always ensured in any case he Létoffé of rockn roll hero, voice and charisma he didnt ashamed to face the Anglo-Saxon hordes, not always better than him singing in English but which often hides sentimentality of some texts. His new album, Stay alive, just released, it is very beautiful and you can not CD to temptation.
The arrangements are particularly successful, very hot, especially with the piano. I must say that our man always knows sentourer, Don Was to production and international names to the instruments. Guitars, electric or acoustic instruments like the rest are perfectly balanced, not dexcès (solos) or tonitruance (brass), not to mention dintimisme, there comfort there where ample and powerful voice (almost) always intact ( disk) Johnny wonders. Texts, in unison, have melancholy as age (71 years) gives a man who lived much. Inventory dune life, regrets, hopes again, Johnny knows we transmit emotion. A beautiful album that it would be a shame to ignore.
