Bonhomme

Georges Brassens has become a revered figure in France, himself influenced by such French greats as Charles Trenet and Tino Rossi. His poetic songs have entertained, moved and amused audiences since the 1940’s and this 3CD set, ‘Bonhomme’ pays homage to these songs with all tracks digitally remastered for optimum listening. Across 3CDs and over more than fifty tracks, you can enjoy six iconic Brassens albums; ‘La Mauvaise reputation’, ‘Le Vent’, ‘Les Sabots d Helene’, ‘Je me suis fait tout petit’, ‘Oncle Archibald’ and ‘Le Pornographe’. Perhaps lasting testament to his genius (and ultimately his acceptance by the mainstream) is that Brassens is now seen as a significant poet in France and his work is studied by school children as part of the curriculum.
