Patachou - Brave Margot Jai Rendez Vous Avec Vous

Review by Andy Eveland

Patachou's album Brave Margot Jai Rendez Vous Avec Vous is a delightful collection of French chansons that will transport listeners to a bygone era of romance and charm. The album features Patachou's signature vocals, which are both soothing and emotive, and her impeccable phrasing and diction bring out the nuances of the lyrics.

The album opens with the title track, "Brave Margot," a poignant tribute to a young resistance fighter who was executed during World War II. Patachou's rendition is hauntingly beautiful, and it sets the tone for the rest of the album, which is a mix of classic French songs and lesser-known gems.

One of the standout tracks is "J'ai rendez-vous avec vous," a playful love song that showcases Patachou's playful side. The song is a perfect blend of romance and humor, and Patachou's voice is both tender and mischievous.

Another highlight is "La chanson des vieux amants," a bittersweet ballad about the enduring love between an older couple. Patachou's interpretation is heartfelt and poignant, and she captures the essence of the song's melancholic beauty.

Summary by Andy Eveland

Brave Margot Jai Rendez Vous Avec Vous is a must-have for fans of French chansons and anyone who appreciates the timeless beauty of classic songs. Patachou's voice is a treasure, and this album is a testament to her enduring legacy as one of the greatest interpreters of French music.
