Coutin, Patrick
L'homme Invisible
"The Invisible Man" is Patrick's 12th studio album. Coutin. A key figure in rock, since 1981 and "I like watching girls", but also director (Dick Rivers, Les Wampas) and occasional writer (biography by Jim Morrisson at Hoebeke Gallimard, former journalist at Rock'n'Folk), as if time had no hold on him, Coutin continues his path of albums in concerts, of project collaborations. He surrounds himself with very good musicians (Jarrod J. Johnson, among Austin's finest drummers (John Mayer, Lenny Kravitz, Boz Scaggs, Charly Sexton), Eric Holden at the bass (Shakira, The BoDeans, Serina Ryder), and resumed her collaboration with the fantastic guitarist and producer David Grissom (Buddy Guy, John Mellencamp, Joe Ely, The Allman Brothers Band, Chris Isaak, Robben Ford, John Mayall, Ringo Star, etc.). The small group settles down to a few days in the Texas countryside at The Zone, a studio which still breathes the perfumes of the rock of the years seventies and utopias that went hand in hand. In a few days, the album is complete. It is a nervous rock, often tense, even if the flexibility feline from the Texas Swing lives there permanently; a music simple and without artifice, terribly effective, played by virtuosos, a return to the sources, carried by words as if carved from the heart of life, full of reminiscences of the road, of the Beat Generation and of the ideals Patrick Coutin says they are sorely missed in the world of today. In short, pure and hard Coutin.
