[ Nonesuch Records / CD ]
Release Date: Tuesday 9 June 1998
Paolo Conte is considered the Italian Tom Waits and Serge Gainsbourg rolled into one. This wonderful Paolo Conte "Best of" is perfectly Italian - light enough to entertain, with completely audable lyrics. Paolo delivers these songs with his distinctive smokey voice - he is clearly a man with the x-factor in talent. These are recent recordings of favourite Conte classics - much better sound than when they were first released.
