More Mireille and, again, it's standard pop fare from the late 60s. I really like this album though as it has the right amount of sentimentality tinged with that bleakness only the French can do. Not twee, not suger-coated, just nice music. I would listen to this while sat alone of an evening, reading Jean-Paul Satre, and smoking (suggestively) one of those French cigarettes that have the nicotine content of a fuel-tanker.

Mireille Mathieu: Mireille Mathieu En Direct De L'Olympia
I know little to nothing about Mireille Mathieu other than she rolls-her-rrrrs a lot on this nice album, and that she's a fine looking woman (check out her site). Two sides of live French music that is accessible and inoffensive.
Juliette Gréco: Les Grandes Chansons De Juliette Gréco
I lovely album of French chansons that doesn't tax the brain too much, and has the sultry voice of Juliette Gréco flowing through it like melted chocolate. One for an evening with the 'significant other' enjoying a glass or two of red, whilst watching a Claude Chabrol movie. Très agréable.
