Number Nine
Listen
This marks the beginning of an ongoing feature focusing on musicians that will capture both your ear and your soul with their music and melodies. And when you hear them, you’ll stop what you’re doing...and listen.
“Secret Agent on SomaFM” is featured on iTunes internet radio in the “Eclectic” category and is commercial-free and listener-supported.
Henri Salvador is 89 years old. But he sings like he’s in his 30s. The song “Il Fait Dimanche” from his album “Chambre Avec Vue” is both disarming and timeless. It comes along like sexy little number and then you’re hooked. His music seduces you.
He’s had international acclaim as a composer, arranger, guitarist, singer, and comic almost everywhere except the United States (even despite an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1956). He’s due.
Barry Adamson’s music has been described as “dangerous, approach with extreme caution”. And that edge you hear, is the sound from the 51st State where he is the sole resident and we have the great fortune to listen to his creations. “Goddess of Love” from his album “As Above So Below” is music to enjoy with someone...perfect for those intimate interludes...small talk, drinks...great music to recharge by.

Sincerely.
