  Reviews:
"...each song is a gem. Christine’s enunciation is impeccable, enabling the listener to translate the French verses and follow the lyrics in the well-designed graphic booklet. Moreover, there are enough familiar songs that listeners can maintain interest even if their French is less than minimal. Overall, this is an interesting album that Christine Albert fans are going to like very much. Edith Piaff would like it, too."
Sing Out Magazine, 2003

  1. La Mer / Beyond The Sea 3:41
(Charles Trenet, Jack Lawrence, A. Lasry)
A swingy meeting of Charles Trenet and Bobby Darin on an international classic. (French/English)

2. Coucou 2:13
(Stephane Grappelli)
Django and Stephane are surely smiling down as Olivier Giraud and Paul Glasse romp through this breezy "Hot Club-esque" gem. (French)

3. Mademoiselle de Paris 3:13
(Paul Durand, Henri Contet)
A lush acoustic walk through Paris featuring violin, accordion and three part harmony. (French)

4. Under A Stormy Sky 2:39
(Daniel Lanois)
This rocks with Gage adding that Albert and Gage harmony while fellow Jimmie Dale Gilmore bandmate Rob Gjersoe trades swampy resonator guitar licks with fiddler Eamon McLoughlin. (English/French)

5. La Foule 3:12
(Michel Rivgauche, A. Cabral)
Gutsy rendition of Piaf with just Chris and Christine. (French)

6. Le Vieux Piano 3:20
(Claude Leveillee)
Two people...a grand piano and a voice..in another moving tribute to Edith Piaf. (French)

7. Undecided 2:36
(Charlie Shavers, Sid Robin)
Christine and the band make this Django/Ella cover their own with Glasse and Giraud shining again. (English)

8. Plaisir d’amour 3:03
(Jean Paul Martini il Tedesco)
A beautiful 18th century waltz with a graceful arrangement of strings and piano. (French/English)

9. Sous Le Ciel de Paris /Under Paris Skies 3:36
(H. Giraud, J. Drejac, Kim Gannon)
Red wine at a sidewalk café. This’ll take you there. (French/English)

10. Jolie Jolie 3:26
(Rickie Lee Jones)
With a Neville Brothers groove and powerful vocal Albert leans more towards the southern US than the south of France on this one. (English/some French)

11. J‘attendrai 3:56
(Dino Olivieri, Luis Poterat)
Classic Parisian sound with clarinet and mandolin trading solos. (French/English)

12. C‘est Peut-Etre Ca 3:03
(Michel Vaucaire, Charles Dumont)
A perfect closer...big dynamics on one more Piaf song embracing the highs and lows of love. (French)
