Our Take

As a seasoned music connoisseur, it's always a delight to stumble upon a hidden gem like JOHNNY HALLYDAY's "The French Twang (1960-1962)." This compilation album is a blast from the past, encapsulating the essence of rock 'n' roll in the early '60s with a distinctly French flair.

HALLYDAY's vocals are as smooth as fine wine, effortlessly gliding over each track with a swagger that's equal parts Elvis Presley and Edith Piaf. The infectious energy and charm he brings to each song is impossible to resist, making it impossible not to tap your feet and nod your head along.

Tracks like "Laisse les Filles" and "Retiens la Nuit" showcase HALLYDAY's versatility as an artist, blending rockabilly influences with French chanson to create a sound that is uniquely his own. The raw emotion and passion in his delivery are palpable, transporting listeners back to a time when rock 'n' roll was at its most rebellious and exciting.

While some may dismiss JOHNNY HALLYDAY as just another pop sensation of the era, "The French Twang (1960-1962)" proves that his music has stood the test of time. This album is a must-listen for anyone looking to experience the magic of early French rock 'n' roll. So grab a croissant, pour yourself a glass of wine, and let JOHNNY HALLYDAY serenade you with his irresistible charm. Cheers to the French Twang!
