thank you daba for the french-to-english translation of the following review:
The bet was risky: to make the new with the old, but again without fault for Fred Chapellier who offers us an album built from songs from both albums, 'Blues Devil' released in 2003 and "The eye of the Blues' in 2005, and for which the great Fred re-recorded all vocal part and guitars. This gives a second life, a second youth and a pep not possible to titles like 'Danger, TV', 'Concrete Blues' or' It smells of gas', not to mention the excellent 'Enough' s enough 'that begins this new album. For indeed we can talk about the new album, both listening to ten titles aligned on the cake 'return to the beginning of this millennium' you file a beautiful slap. You will find also the sublime 'What the Blues', whose lyrics are signed by the late Poill's (Alain Poirot) and the beautiful 'Not my fault' that closes this opus as if the singer-guitarist had to apologize to offer us such songs that move us neurons, guts and heart.

Is it because he accompanied Jacques Dutronc for his mega-tour 2010 or because he found in Billy Price spark to play more blues blues, it is certain that the great Fred returns with compos in French reworked, finely crafted and that we listen again, rediscovers itself, with great pleasure. A pleasure as we are surprised, by the end of this album, to dip into our CD library to highlight two albums 'original' and send them in their entirety. Because even if you love this album, you will not want to settle for ten titles aligned here and you will, like Monopoly, go through the square and rediscover these two CDs that deserve careful listening and recognition.

Only available in download, this album may be the sign of the great Fred back in the blues 'made in France' and sung in French, while leaving the gallivanting on side roads, as with Billy Price and other big stars of the song that will fell in love with the guitar playing of Fred Chapellier, 'Sir Fred Chapellier. ~ Frankie Bluesy Pfeiffer
