Released in 1991,
Osez Josephine
is the eight studio album by the great French singer/songwriter
Alain Bashung
. It is chock-full of acoustic rootsy blues, country, and swampy tracks delivered in an immediate, raw manner, without much overdubbing; so little, in fact, it sounds like it was recorded live from the floor in the studio. Standout cuts include the title track, "Volutes," and a very original interpretation of
the Moody Blues
' "Nights in White Satin." ~ Thom Jurek
