Lhasa - The Living Road (Toutoutard 0122-2-6)

Smoky, soulful gallic songs in French, Spanish and English from this French-Canadian singer whose family, apparently, are circus performers. Passionate and heartfelt, knowing and alienated. If Eric Rohmer were still making films about the modern multi-cultural generation this would be on the soundtrack. I realise that may not be much of a recommendation for you, but it works for me.

(By the way, I assume if any of us try any of the recommendations on here we'll add our views in the comments section?)
