Gayot, Veronique

Be A Man

After "Wild Cat" and "Animal", the French Vronique Gayot follows up with "Be A Man" the next album after. In the ten songs on the album she fills the spectrum of traditional blues to boogie to funky elements. Gayot's expressive, energetic voice is impressive gives pieces their very own character and with which they do not stand out from others Blues singers need to hide. In the classic blues song "The Weatherman" she shows that she also has an excellent command of the blues harp but used very carefully so as not to ruin the song. In addition to Gayot, her musicians also show that they are excellent at their craft understand. An example is the mid-tempo blues "Ain No Place", in where the keyboard and subtly interspersed electric guitar solos provide enlivening elements are successful contrasts to Gayot's voice. With "Right Time To Boogie" she lets the wildcat in her free and around "Do it Yourself" lands in soulful realms. Strong is how psychedelic they are Weaves elements into the blues in "Dynamite and Gasoline". On "Love At First Sight", a languid blues ballad in a duet with Yannick Eichert makes you feel like you've been transported to a smoky bar in the southern states. Here too their musicians show their class, as they really accompany the son but with themselves play short solos in the foreground. In conclusion it can be said that Vronique Gayot has a strong one with "Be A Man". The album is successful, which is also very varied thanks to the variety of songs is and will delight the listeners
