The
famous 1965 album... France really discovered Bob Dylan with these 11 excellent covers.
The French lyrics are by Hugues Aufray and Pierre Delanoë.
Hugues Aufray is a long time friend of
Bob Dylan's: he says he saw him perform in New York in 1961, and that they met for the first time in 1963. The cover of the LP features photos of Bob Dylan in 1965 at Aufray's home.
He has
released two other albums of Dylan covers: AUFRAY TRANS DYLAN (1995) and NEW YORKER - HOMMAGE À BOB DYLAN (2009).
The songs are: Cauchemar Psychomoteur, Les Temps Changent, La Ballade De Hollis Brown, La Fille Du Nord,
Ce Que Je Veux Surtout, La Mort Solitaire De Hattie Carrol, Dieu Est À Nos Côtés, Le Jour Où Le Bateau Viendra,
Ce N'Était Pas Moi, Oxford Town, Corrina, Corrina, plus L'Homme Orchestre (that was not on the LP).
The first names of the artists, missing on the LP, are noted on the songbooks front covers: HUGUES AUFRAY CHANTE BOB DYLAN.
L'Homme Orchestre (Mr Tambourine Man) was not on the original vinyl, but it was added to the songbook as it was a hit in France for Hugues Aufray in 1965/1966.
In 1964 he also had a hit with N'Y Pense Plus, Tout Est Bien (Don't Think Twice, It's All Right), but this song was neither included in the LP nor in the songbook.
The songs of the album AUFRAY CHANTE DYLAN have all been published separately as sheet music (click the links above), except for Ce N'Était Pas Moi (It Ain't Me Babe).
The songbooks have 36 pages.
