5.0 out of 5 stars Voulzy at his best (again), September 14, 2007

I have listened to this CD over and over with great pleasure. The theme is summer with all the feelings, impressions and memories it evokes. That includes of course past summer hits, which Voulzy plays as if he was reminiscing and playing just for fun. The covers don't attempt to outdo the originals, they're just Voulzy-ized and very well arranged as always.

'Bicyclette' is my favorite song but there are no weak tracks here; the whole thing makes me feel light and happy as if it were summer.

Voulzy fans won't be disappointed and if you're new to his music this is a excellent CD to start with, though in this case, I would recommend the best-of album named 'Belle Ile En Mer 1977/1988', which has an excellent selection of his earlier orginal compositions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, sound of France, March 26, 2011

Laurent Volzy may be familiar to American fans from his eighties single "Les Nuits Sans Kim Wilde". On this 2006 title you can hear his growth as an artist. The French numbers are the most interesting. He also has made eclectic choices for English covers. Sade's hit "Smooth Operator" is delivered note perfect, as is "The Captain of Her Heart".

The CD liner notes are especially good, folding out to a double-sided poster. Here's hoping Monsieur Voulzy feels the creative urge to make more albums!
