Marie Laforêt ‎– Les Vendanges De L'Amour - Viens Sur La Montagne (LP)

The Les Vendanges De L'Amour - Viens Sur La Montagne LP by Marie Laforêt (originally released as her self-titled second album in 1963) is a classic of French chanson. Here, she blends traditional pop with folk influences. The title track, "Viens sur la montagne" (a French adaptation of the spiritual "Go Tell It On the Mountain"), lends the album a beautifully melancholic atmosphere.

Fans and critics praise the album for its consistent quality and Laforêt's unique, deep vocal delivery. Although the album relies heavily on covers of American folk and pop songs (translated into French), it serves as a wonderful snapshot of early 1960s pop music. The atmosphere is both cinematic and intimate.
