Garou in Chains?.......2006-02-02

My predecessor made a very pertinent remark. Garou is an exact opposite of Ms Dion. He started his career in Quebec barrrooms as a soul/R'n'B singer and his covers of the classics (like Wilson Pickett's "Mustang Sally" or "In the Midnight Hour") are really stunning. And even the standard, "Celine-like" pop songs of this collection, he gives them - thanks to his unique voice and passionate delivery - a new quality. He is decidedly better then most of his material (my favourite being "Adieu" - his interpretation makes me think of Jacques Brel). I consider him a great singer, one of the best I ever heard and it's a pity he associated himself with Ms Dion/Mr Angelil. The reason fot it is very simple - they promised him an international career. But his second - anglophone - album enregistered in 2002 and announced several times was never released and it looks like he made all those concessions for nothing.
And for better, more sincere, Garou one should turn to live "Seul avec Garou" and his second francopohone album "Reviens".

A romantic trouble-maker and rule-breaker.......2006-02-02

Garou strikes me as a good-natured rougue. For those tho don't speak French, Garou means "warewolf". He sings about racy issues like gambling and pedophilia, but he manages to put a spin of innocent fascination on all his work. I believe that in real life he the same as he is on stage. The only thing that makes me uncertain of his sincerity is his affiliation with Celine Dion. She is notorious for singing "commercial" songs that do not come from the heart.

Great French-Canadian Singer!!.......2005-06-22

I first heard this man sing, about four years ago, on a world music award program. It took me two years to find who it was, and sang the song "Seul". And I am so glad that I kept looking!
Garou has a truely unique voice; very powerful, manly and a little rough. Even if you don't know French you will enjoy the feeling he puts into singing, and once you know the lyrics it will be that much better.
If you really want a treat watch his live concerts, either the last tour on DVD, "Garou live a Bercy". Or his just finished tour on "Routes".
I love all his work and highly recommend all three albums!

This is a great album!!.......2003-06-30

When I studied in France in 2001, Garou was huge (maybe still is?) and you heard his music everywhere. Now everytime I listen to this album, it brings back fond memories. I love almost every song on this album (not too fond of Criminel and Gambler though). You'll love this album too if you're into pop ballads like those of Celine Dion. The lyrics are so beautiful, but even if you don't speak French, the music alone is worth buying the album. Garou has a very unique, sexy voice (and image :-)) and I would say that this album is definitely worth your money.

just another review.......2003-04-08

Garou is an extremely talented singer! It was his role in Notre Dame, which is brilliant by the way, that led me to listen to Seul. His voice is low and gravelly but it's beautiful and pure masculinity in my opinion. Perhaps some of the songs on the album are a bit too "pop-ish" but give the man a break - it's his first album and I think he did a great job with it. Anyway, the songs aren't as important as the way he sings them - with a lot of passion and heart! I'm enjoying it :)
