PLENTY OF COVERS, October 2, 2004
This review is from: Anthologie 1964 -1966 (Audio CD)
Second cd of the comprehensive 6cds anthology covering the career of the king of rock in FRANCE.Few originals in this collection, but plenty of covers including THE BEATLES(I SAW HER STANDING THERE and GIRL);CHUCK BERRY(FORTY DAYS,JOHNNY B.GOODE and CAROL)and THE ANIMALS(HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN).If there was a cover perfect for HALLYDAY ,this is it.It's perhaps better than the original.At this point in his singing career,JOHNNY is in need of original material which will come later.You'll notice that in the translation,FORTY DAYS and JOHNNY B.GOODE have different meanings.So this cd ,like the previous one of this anthology is a mixed affair, worthwhile for fans of the singer.One song CHEVEUX LONGS ET IDÉES COURTES shows the influence of DYLAN.
