When it comes to Dutronc's essential, seminal, work, it's the production that makes it. Raw, no-frills, all Jacques out front, tie askew, belting out fuzzy, near-garage, blasts of psych and pop. All in an incredibly French manner in both style and approach. Laissez les bons temps rouler.
This week's entry delves into the renaissance man's early work -- a twenty track companion to Jacques Dutronc.
