Fabrizio De André: Vol. 1
3 aug 16
Just 'Caro amore' on the notes of the Concierto de Aranjuez was enough to give immortality to an often overlooked album in the De André discography. If you then add the beautiful 'Preghiera in Gennaio' for the friend Tenco and songs like 'Via del Campo' and 'Bocca di rosa', just little gems, the album becomes eternal. Thank you for these almost 40 minutes, Faber.

    Dear Sandro, please don’t hold it against me, but personally, I can't really get on board with "Dear love." In total agreement with the others listed, I would add the revised version of Brassens' "Marcia nuziale." Not to mention the medieval whore omitted from the texts when just a groove before there was another one on the balcony...

    Well, it's obviously a matter of taste, but for me, 'Caro Amore' is a show. I agree on the rest.

My favorite by De Andrè, too many jewels, I can't prefer another... 'Cantico dei drogati' is a 10, 'Inverno' too, and few remember 'Recitativo', one of the most beautiful things ever written by the Genoese singer-songwriter, a piece of moving depth. It almost seems disrespectful to songs like 'Leggenda di Natale' or 'La ballata degli impiccati' but oh well...

    ...the legend of the unhappy king (we who invoke mercy, we are the addicts...) is a bite to the heart.

Fabrizio De André: La buona novella
4 aug 16
Moving, epic, monumental, unparalleled. One of the highest points in songwriting, with a truly astonishing De André this time. An unforgettable concept in its sounds and lyrics, where it almost feels superficial to talk about the songs themselves, because, after all, I believe it’s about the 35 most orgasmic minutes I can remember. Even voting for it makes me feel guilty.

    In unsuspecting times, Vasco Rossi said that "La buona novella" is the album he would have liked to write. Then I saw him subdued at De Andrè's funeral. From that moment on, at least for a little while, I started to reevaluate him, even if he remains fundamentally a low-level author.

    Even though it's scarce, I can't manage to hate him, unlike someone like Ligabue for example... The fact is that if Vasco writes me the good news, my grandmother plays the piano like Beethoven.

Fabrizio De André: Canzoni
4 aug 16
We need to start from a premise. Anything that contains 'The Ballad of Lost Love' automatically gets a 5, no questions asked. The fact is that if you then add wonderful Italian adaptations by Cohen and Bressan (Suzanne and Le passanti), but also by Dylan (Via della povertà), then you have no doubts. Oh, and 'The Ballad of Blind Love' too... Oh, and also 'Fila la lana'... Okay, I’ll stop or I’ll never finish.

Inferior to 'We All Died with Difficulty,' but when it comes to masterpieces like this, comparisons are often wasted, as a record that includes gems like 'La canzone di Marinella,' 'La guerra di Piero,' and the slow 'Amore che vieni amore che vai' cannot possibly be second to anyone. Even though I, being particular, prefer 'La ballata del Michè' to them, which I find one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

Francesco De Gregori: Alice non lo sa

The title track is a manifesto of the prince, but how can we not talk about a piece like 'Le strade di lei'? Or the same 'Buonanotte fiorellino', or the magnificent 'La casa di Hilde'... A wonderful debut from a De Gregori in top form... Ah, and 'Il ragazzo'.
  • Zimmy

    I trust in the typo, but the fact remains that "Buonanotte fiorellino" is on "Rimmel" and here instead we have "Buonanotte FRATELLO"... which in terms of beauty is second to none, a forgotten gem from a peculiar, caustic, and ruthless De Gregori ("‘...and I do not envy your white house, where you will endure for a hundred years to end up on a granite bed with the comfort of your conscience, clean hands and a heart of crystal, and the dogs will bark in half-voice... I perhaps will no longer be anything, just an x in the nitrogen cycle... if there is a hell, it will know how to listen to me: good night brother, with love.’): how far removed from the complacent tenderness of the almost homonymous song from two years later. Anyway, from this album, I adore, besides the ones you mentioned, the splendid "Marianna al bivio" ("...with the sun in her hair clinging to a paradise of tinfoil"). A great debut.

    I made a terrible blunder, it was obviously Buonanotte Fratello, I hope you can forgive me. Anyway, also Marianna at the crossroads, beautiful, you are absolutely right.

    "I hope you forgive me"... it's not like you've wronged me! I forgive you less for the fact that I loved you and you did nothing. :)

Wonderful from beginning to end, okay the poisoned one, but songs like 'Canzone quasi d'amore' or 'Il Pensionato' always move me.

    I completely agree with you. "Canzone quasi d'amore" is a masterpiece, even though the best version is the one from "Guccini live collection."

A difficult and perhaps pretentious album, where Guccini engages in particularly challenging lyrics that often come across as pretentious. But if you give me a manifesto of the purest friendship like 'Canzone per Piero', I’ll give you 5 until death.
  • Zimmy

    More than the pretentious lyrics, in my opinion, the problem with this album is that it lacks melodies. Guccio limits himself to declaiming excessively verbose texts over almost flimsy music (melodically speaking; I find the arrangements to be well-crafted instead), and this makes listening to the songs unbearable, especially considering that they're almost all long in duration. It's a shame because the lyrics are very beautiful, complex, and mature, but I would go so far as to say that to fully appreciate them, one has to read them separately...

    I agree with what you say, but I hope you will agree with me that 'Canzone per Piero' is truly wonderful.

    More than the lyrics stitched to inconsistent melodies, the weak point of this album is that it seems overly drenched in pessimism.
  • SandroGiacobbe
    4 aug 16
    For me, that's almost a positive point; the problem is that often the lyrics are meaningful only in themselves.

    "But I hope you will agree with me that 'Canzone per Piero' is truly wonderful."
    I certainly agree. :)

Absolute wonder of Guccini. 'Amerigo' is divine, '100, Pennsylvania Ave' is just as good, and 'Eskimo' truly captures the essence of Francesco. 8 spectacular minutes. It's a shame about the other songs not living up to it, a gem.
