If you can imagine a francophone cross between Frank Zappa and Leonard Cohen, you're on the right track for soaking up the sounds of Plume Latraverse. From the ‘70s onward, the Québécois singer/songwriter has delivered deliciously satirical lyrics framed by a flexible style mixing folk with country, blues, and rock as the moment demands. With a gritty voice that evokes a lifetime of late nights spent with whiskey and cigarettes, Latraverse became a countercultural hero in Canada, delivering songs that sparkle with his trademark wit, charisma, and iconoclasm.
