Patsou, the faithful producer Patrick Lebrasseur, drops the piece because it has to be, it would weigh too much. This third disc of instrumental pieces, played solo on the same Martin D-28 as at the time of the first tests, a wooden frame before the cement of Quebec rock by Offenbach, will be the last of the ace guitarist Johnny Gravel. Weak health obliges. Finally, therefore, a very simple limited edition CD, 250 initialed copies (available on the johnnygravel.ca website). If there are riffs that would have been electrifying with a band, texts and means (Eclipse, the toxin, Addiction, The warehouse), it is above all soft tunes that rock us, tender farewells, folk-prog to remember where it all began (The flame), blues in minor for My wayold-school slow-rock for Walk to the moonaffectionate slowness of the chords for Ray. Greetings without ostentation but not without art from an essential instrumentalist: that well deserves a greeting in return.
