Recorded in the South of France with producers Fred Jimenez and Stephane Reynaud, enigmatic French singer/songwriter
Jean-Louis Murat's 21st studio album,
Grand Lièvre, eschews the blues-rock of its 2009 predecessor,
Le Cours Ordinaire des Choses, in favor of a more alternative direction inspired by American indie bands
Swell and
Silver Jews. A special edition featuring a bonus eight-track live album, entitled Live à la Coopé, was also later released. ~ Jon O'Brien
