With his sparse but jazz-inflected acoustic guitar arrangements, amusingly dirty lyrics & rounded baritone voice, you can see why Brassens is said to be the songwriter who laid the way for Serge Gainsbourg. But Brassens was more literate, more socially pointed, and also more surreal. His most famous song, for example, details an overly well-endowed ape who escapes the zoo and mistakes a hangman judge for a lady ape. The yowls of the judge from the bushes sound just like the cries made by one of his condemned prisoners. One disc of his own performances and one disc of other chanson singers tackling his material.
