[Critique] “Acoustic Sessions vol. 3″, Johnny Gravel

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.
