Les Grands Espaces, Isa Boulay's new album , is produced by Benjamin Biolay. He plays various instruments, most notably organ and trumpet on the Lee Hazlewood/Nancy Sinatra-cover Summer Wine.

Le succès, celui qui nous concerne aujourd'hui le connaît depuis longtemps déjà. Je vous parle de Jean-Louis Murat dont je me suis surpris à tomber en extase devant
Quote : "I remember I even liked his name, Charles Baudelaire. His name in itself always seemed very poetic to me(...) Like a lot of other classics, you practically have to be an adult to read him." Hear hear, Jean-Louis Murat . I tried reading Charlie too when I was a youngster (along with De Sade, all thanks to an obsession with Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho , which wore off eventually), and I still think his name is very poetic.
