Gendron takes ballads that have been sung for centuries and plays them straight, in a low, unadorned voice over fingerpicked guitar. Then Bill Nace or Chris Corsano arrives and the song comes apart. \"C'est dans les vieux pays\" and \"La jeune fille en pleurs\" are the clearest examples, folk performances invaded by free improvisation without either side yielding. Elsewhere \"Shenandoah\" appears twice in different readings, and \"All The Pretty Little Horses\" is given the plainest treatment on the record and is devastating for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery few albums manage to honour a tradition and dismantle it at the same time. This one does, across four sides, without ever sounding like a concept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouble LP on Feeding Tube Records.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":47680913473698,"sku":null,"price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5024\/3490\/files\/4065458-2802568.jpg?v=1789755899","url":"https:\/\/staticatx.com\/products\/myriam-gendron-ma-delire-songs-of-love-lost-found","provider":"Static ATX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
