Lucienne Vernay et Les Quatre Barbus avec André Grassi Et Son Orchestre - Auprès De Ma Blonde

Review by Oki Suryadi

Auprès De Ma Blonde is a delightful album by Lucienne Vernay et Les Quatre Barbus avec André Grassi Et Son Orchestre. The album features a collection of French folk songs that are both charming and catchy.

The album opens with the title track, "Auprès De Ma Blonde," a jaunty tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The vocals by Lucienne Vernay and Les Quatre Barbus are clear and harmonious, and the addition of André Grassi Et Son Orchestre adds a delightful layer of instrumentation.

The album also includes other French folk classics such as "Le Temps Des Cerises" and "Sur Le Pont D'Avignon." Each song is given its own unique treatment, with the instrumentation and vocal arrangements changing to suit the mood of the piece.

One standout track is "La Complainte De Mandrin," a haunting ballad that showcases the vocal talents of Lucienne Vernay. The song is beautifully arranged, with a mournful violin and accordion adding to the melancholy atmosphere.

Summary by Oki Suryadi

Auprès De Ma Blonde is a wonderful album that is sure to delight fans of French folk music. The combination of Lucienne Vernay et Les Quatre Barbus avec André Grassi Et Son Orchestre is a winning one, and this album is a testament to their talents.
