Françoise Hardy – La Maison Où J’ai Grandi
As I’ve written before, I do adore some lovely French pop, especially sung by a breathy female voice. I’m not sure if this is despite my speaking hardly a word of French, or because...

Françoise Hardy – L’Amitié
Another one from Françoise Hardy, this one from 1965 and, as with her other early albums, only released with her name; the title came later from the most popular song. This one features some...
Françoise Hardy – Mon Amie la Rose
In the last entry, I talked about why I’m just buying Françoise Hardy records almost whenever I find them. She has a lovely voice, I enjoy French pop even though (and perhaps because) I...
Françoise Hardy – Tous les Garçons et les Filles

I’m right here admitting that for many years, my record collection was unfunky. Funkless. Free of the funk. An old Ohio Players record and George Clinton’s “R&B Skeletons in the Closet,” and neither one...

I generally don’t get very excited about new releases. Sometimes I’ll check out something new by an artist close to when it’s released, sometimes I won’t – depends on my mood and what I’m...
