Francoise Hardy - La Maison Ou J´Ai Grandi (Vinyl)

HARDY´s fifth album was a collection of English-language recordings. That she wrote most of the material herself was no longer news - her future partner JACQUES DEUTRONC did the same and artists like ANTOINE followed in DYLAN´s footsteps. 1966 was the year that HARDY met DYLAN, who insisted on her presence at his concert in Paris and later sang for her at a party. However, DYLAN´s world was not hers. Recorded in London, the hit "La Maiso n Ou J´Ai Grandi" underlined FRANCOISE´s talent: the perfect blend of French chanson with epic production influenced by PHIL SPECTOR, DUSTY SPRINGFIELS and GEORGE MARTIN. The wonderful "Je Changerais D´avis" is an outstanding example of this.
