Someone who is approaching 70 and calls his album “All Is One” obviously has something to say. Just recently Allan Taylor faced one of life’s tests – a severe shoulder disfunction prevented him from playing guitar – not an easy situation for a musician.

In Good Company, though focusing on people Cables knew in the past is not a tribute album, but rather a series of personal reminiscences from the keyboard.

On a depuis quinze ans un faible pour Renan Luce, ses tubes sensibles, de « la Lettre » à « les Voisines », sa poésie du quotidien, ses histoires à tiroirs, sa plume ciselée, son esprit de camaraderie. Mais notre cœur n’avait jamais autant battu qu’avec ce quatrième album éponyme, qui sort ce vendredi.
