专辑介绍
by Thom Jurek
American audiences have become familiar with the work of Paolo Conte through his Nonesuch recordings. In Europe, the man is a giant on par with almost no one. This compilation of his most ragged and beloved tunes is an excellent second chapter for the Americanskis who were delighted by the Nonesuch recordings by the whorehouse and barroom bard. Conte's reputation as a cross between Serge Gainsbourg and Charles Bukowski and Charles Trenier is well illustrated here with this group of cabaret songs, burning heart ballads, and broken pop songs. In many ways Conte comes off more as a mid-period Leonard Cohen, seasoned so well in the ways of love, lust, and the human spirit, but he's nowhere near as redemptive in his quest -- he's far too accepting of foibles as desirable. Bless him. Many of his classics are here, such as the gypsy jazz-inflected "Sono Qui Con Te Sempre Piu Solo" and the old-timey polka "Wanda," or the haunted, hunted, harrowing piano ballad "Lo Scapolo." Thankfully the set doesn't end with this heartbreaker, and moves on to café lone song "Una Giornata Al Marew," and closes with the stomping "La Giarrettiera Rosa," Conte's version of a country song. Love him or hate him, you have to admire a man who can write and sing with this much good-natured derangement, this much passion, and this much diversity. Highly recommended.

- @未知生物：最爱歌手！
- @大爱清尘(以马内利)：1937年1月出生于意大利北部最著名的葡萄酒产地Asti，本行律师，六十年**始写歌，最早是为意大利当红的流行歌手AdrianoCelentano和Patty Pravo创作歌曲而引起大众的关注。一曲Blue Tango，曾被众多歌星唱红，但直到1974年，PaoloConte才推出首张个人专辑，真正走红却还要等到三年后另一张专辑的发行。那时，他已是四十而不惑的中年人了。
