this is the album that started off lynda lemay's carrier in france, although she already had made a couple of records in quebec. i had actually bought "du coq a l'ame" and "lynda 98" before i bought this album, but this one is definitely the best of the three. first it has the simplicity of a live record, just a guitar, piano, cello and drums occasionally, and of course lynda's voice. but lynda is not only a highly talented singer, that's truely for her textwriting skills that i appreciate her most. and this album contains a number of witty, or sometimes poignant treasures. sure her acting skills, and nice quebecer accent are enjoyable ingredients in the cocktail. i might have listened to the whole of it at least 50 times, yet it still makes me laugh as much.
