Howlers, Clangers & Myths – The By The Bayou Series
27th February 2015
During the compiling of the first ten CDs in the “By The Bayou” series, due to the plethora of alternate takes and incorrectly labelled tape boxes both within the J.D. Miller and Eddie Shuler tape vaults a number of mistakes occurred and it is clear to Ace Records, and to me personally, that it is to the benefit of all if these are cleared up.

France Gall, 9 October 1947 - 7 January 2018
24th January 2018
At the centre of France’s home-grown 1960s rock’n’roll scene – affectionately known as yé-yé – was France Gall, a Parisian teenager with a voice that overflowed with joy and affection. Her records, written mainly by her father Robert Gall and French provocateur Serge Gainsbourg, were shouty yet tender pop confections with cool jazzy bass-lines and big-band brass, striking just the right balance between adolescence and adult. In 1965, she took home the top prize at the Eurovision Song Contest for Gainsbourg’s ear-splitting ‘Poupée De Cire, Poupée De Son’, thus securing her stardom across the Continent.
