I bet it depends on how you guys 'over there' rate this kind of stuff. But for us, europeans, Johnny Hallyday is the closest you can get to american music, rock and blues, and still stay european.
I am not sure this CD is made for american public. Some of you might find it disapointing. But for us, it has a lot of the great american sound, but still is european. Johnny could find out to mix the two kinds. As in Star Trek: He made the best of both worlds.
BTW, Johnny has also made music in italian, and I can assure you than his english accent is much better than his italian... And for a french boy, his english is just great! ---Cyril Malka, amazon.com
