CD Review   Natchez Paradis avec toi
 

Natchez  - Paradis avec toi

by Mary Rudy

 
Not knowing the French language and this CD being in French, I wasn't sure if I could give a review for this group. Well to my surprise, upon the micro-second that the CD started playing, I quickly came to the realization that you really don't need to understand the language to enjoy or feel the music. So therefore Natchez has brought a whole new light to my reviewing world. Music is music, no matter what the language is. Thank You Natchez...

Natchez' CD 'Paradis avec toi' is an outstanding piece of art and talent. The production and engineering is of the utmost top quality. The expertise of these four Natchez musicians are absolutely remarkable. They each bring their own talents and love for what they do, which you can hear in the music. And when you bring talent, musicianship, energy, stamina and excellent written material together, you end up with group by the name of 'Natchez'. And of course the only outcome of that match is a cd project like 'Paradis avec toi'.

The HOT musicians of Natchez are: Thierry Aeschbach - vocals.....Andre Dufour - lead guitar.....Emmanuel Aeschbach - bass.....Benjamin Proy - drums. The vocals are excellent, strong and Thierry carries a wide range of levels that are totally awesome. The Rhythm section is a super-charged solid machine, every beat-every lick is in the pocket and totally crisp and clear. Emmanuel and Benjamin know how to keep that sound pumping with their drum and bass action, as only they can do. The hot guitar action is played with energy shooting out the tips of Andre's fingertips. He is definitely the only axe-man capable of giving Natchez what they want in their music (the sound of hot licks drippin' with axe-tion). It sounds to me that Natchez is getting more than what they ask for from Andre.

Make sure to visit Natchez at: http://natchez.fr.fm to take your spin and to purchase this spectacular CD, 'Paradis avec toi', and while there, check out these hot tracks: Jet'attends la-haut - Natchez kicks this rocker out.....Saisis ta chance - this one has the Bruce Springsteen sounds in the beginning and then Thierry kicks Bruce to the curb and does the HOT Thierry thing. Excellent tune!!.....Paradis avec toi - has those excellent keyboard sounds.....Reveur - has that dobro and slide action, the musicianship is beyond excellent.....Natchez took a cover song of 'Crossroads' and kicked this baby out with their own spectacular sounds, which makes 'Crossroads' sound like a Natchez original - that folks is professionalism..

I recommend this CD to everyone that has a love for music rather you are fluent in the French language or not. This CD is #1 in my opinion...........good work Natchez, hope to see and hear more of your material.
