Graeme Allwright

This self-titled album by Graeme Allwright captures the essence of one of the most beloved figures in French folk music. Born in New Zealand but deeply rooted in the French chanson tradition, Allwright became known for his gentle voice, acoustic arrangements, and socially conscious lyrics.

His work is especially notable for adapting songs by artists like Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan into French, helping introduce their music to a wider francophone audience while preserving their poetic depth.

Released on Mercury Records, this LP reflects the folk revival spirit of the late 1960s and 1970s, when music was closely tied to cultural and social movements.

Today, Graeme Allwright’s records are appreciated for their sincerity and timeless message, making this album a meaningful piece for fans of folk music and French chanson alike.
