This tape is so much fun. Murder ballads, saucy cocktail numbers, joie de vivre, lonely club strings from the 60’s.

Traditionally a Chanteur is a french-speaking legend of song (loose English equivalent: chanter), but we’ll stretch that definition to include the American Judy Henske, and two Swedish vixens here. Pictured are Judy Henske and Jacques Brel, who are featured most on the tape. They mix excellently together, like an aged spirit distilled in an oaky barrel. The majority of these tracks were recorded during the 1960’s, some live. Play over dinner, cocktails, or after watching Good Morning, Vietnam!

Perhaps the next tape I will figure out how to have the tracks visible in iTunes? Any clues? I’m using Audacity.

Enjoy, err… apprécier. And don’t murder your husband, as Judy Henske does twice in this mix. It’s rude.
