L' Essentiel Coupé Cloué

Gesner Henry (Coupé Cloué) runs one of the prettiest guitar bands on either side of the Altantic, though Tabou Combo's hit-hunting has kept C.C. out of the international spotlight. Here are the interlocking guitars, roosty percussion, and chatty vocals which make Coupé in general, and this mid-70s collection in particular, one of our undisputed faves.
