Emerging in the late '70s, with the heyday of French chanson in the rear-view mirror, Alain Bashung took advantage of the open road to craft a fascinating career. Flitting between mainstream success and gritty experimentation, the rocker/raconteur dabbled in country, folk, New Wave and alternative. Through all his incarnations, up until his death in 2009, Bashung never lost his ability to keep our attention. Enter the arena of a musical adventurer.
