Blues, early jazz, folk songs, and Cajun tunes: Margaux Liénard and Julien Biget draw their inspiration from the inexhaustible wellspring of the 1930s Mississippi Delta and the repertoire of folk singers who give voice to the America of ordinary people to bring “Sing Sing” .” By combining two voices, a violon d’amour, and a slide guitar, the two musicians adorn their blues with delicate folk lace, transporting it into a new realm. Interwoven with subtle melodies and almost baroque sounds, the rugged songs of rural America are transformed and take on an unexpected elegance. But everything is still there, intact: slices of life, festive tunes, lost loves, and rediscovered joys—all the emotions of a timeless melancholy.
