Mon Frère is the debut album of French singer and songwriter
Maxime le Forestier. Mostly acoustic, it makes no attempt to hide the major influences of
Georges Brassens,
James Taylor, and
Bob Dylan on his work and world-view. Standout tracks include the autobiographical "Parachutiste," the title cut, "San Francisco," "Comme un Arbre," and "Education Sentimentale"; all of these songs have earned legendary status in French popular music. ~ Thom Jurek
