Richard Séguin Essentials

Richard Séguin Essentials

Love, nature, and the road have been lifelong themes for Richard Séguin, the mellow yet politically engaged Quebec songwriter who began performing with his twin sister as Les Séguin before going solo in 1979. A trio of '80s albums amped up the volume, with Séguin drawing inspiration from Bob Dylan and Jack Kerouac for songs tough enough to be translated to English and recorded by Gary U.S. Bonds. After re-recording his earlier work with large choruses and orchestras, Séguin returned to the folk tradition's nuanced véritiés in the '10s in intimate songs he claims are his only real "home."
