- francis lai joue francis lai (1971)

i'm a big fan of people doing themselves. "jankowski plays jankowski" is a fine example of when this gets done with creativity and enjoyment, as is this release from francis lai in 1971. a couple of years short of the other release i've posted, this one also has the same signature sound of the electric accordian. the arrangements are excellent, and as these tracks have all been recorded specifically for this lp, the mood and identity is unique. think creative genius meets warmth, and you're on the right track.
highly recommended for all francis lai fans, and as an intro for any ready to be converted. the man is a genius, resistance is futile!
PS: track listing is apparently incorrect on cover - see comments section for alternate list...
