The
famous 1965 album... France really discovered Bob Dylan with these 11 excellent covers
by Hugues Aufray and the lyrics he
translated with Pierre Delanoë.
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).
Hugues Aufray is a long time friend of
Bob Dylan's: he says they met for the first time in 1961 in New York City.
He has
released two other albums of Dylan covers: AUFRAY TRANS DYLAN (1995)
and NEW YORKER - HOMMAGE À BOB DYLAN (2009).
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 songbooks as it was a hit in France for Hugues Aufray in 1965/1966.
The songs of the album AUFRAY CHANTE DYLAN have also been published separately as sheet music (click the links above). Only one of them was not (?): Ce N'Était Pas Moi (It Ain't Me Babe).
