In the fall of 2016, I went to California with friends of mine to attend the Desert Trip festival in Coachella. After an awesome time was had I decided to hang around L.A. for a while. I got itchy feet after some time and felt the need to explore. I rented a camper van and criss crossed the state for 3 weeks or so. I bought a guitar and wrote some tunes on it at night while camping in Death Valley, Big Sur, Yosemite, San Rafael and many other wild places.
These are the songs I wrote along with a few vamped up oldies of mine that fit right in as if they were sung the same day.
Fast forword four years, as I write this, the world is a very different place. Somehow these songs seem to resonate more, to make more sense now.
Hope it can bring you joy and comfort in these strange times.
Official release: November 6th.

Between the pleasure and the pain,
I’ll follow you down,
Through all the pride and the shame,
I’ll follow you down,
I will light the way and I will catch you when you fall,
Take all you have to give and or take nothing at all
And I will count my blessings with you tonight
Tonight,
Tonight,
Tonight
Between the shelter and the rain,
I’ll follow you down,
In all the praise and the blame,
I’ll follow you down,
And I will come for you, when you need it the most,
And I’ll be by your side, when you battle your ghosts,
And I will count my blessings with you tonight
Tonight,
Tonight,
Tonight
In times of joy and times of sorrow,
I’ll follow you down,
Through today and all tomorrows,
I’ll follow you down,
And I will raise us up with my own two hands,
And I will carry you until you learn to stand,
Then I will finally know, what it is to surrender,
And we can count our blessings together tonight
Tonight,
Tonight,
Tonight

En écoutant du Gros Mené, est-ce que je ressens les plaisirs ou l'écueil des sens? Aaaouais! Je dérive d'excitation sensorielle incontrôlée!!! Nirvana... Morvana un peu aussi, puisque ça sort la méchante statique cognitive encrassée de mon savoir dégustativement conforté dans la bienveillance d'une vie trop prévisible, trop engoncée, trop régentée, trop cadenassée,... trop trOP TROP TOUTTE! St-Sirop (ou cris. d'ost. de tabarn)!.... et la musique de Gros Mené s'est tue... Trop bon je réécoute.. Maison Planàterre
Soulful guitar interplay form the heart of this lovely Americana collaboration from Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 2, 2018
