Stocks - Trois (Uk) [CD]

Their first album, recorded live in early 1980, set a benchmark in the French rock scene. This was followed by 2 equally successful albums of pure, racy bluesrock, packed with guitars and chiselled lyrics - That pretty much sums up the history of the most 'southern' band to come out of the North. Christophe Marquilly is back as a trio, having toured with some of the biggest names (Thin Lizzy, Rose Tattoo, Molly Hatchet, Johnny Hallyday). After taking a few years off, he has rediscovered the pleasure and passion of sharing his iconic songs such as "Suzy" and "j'vais craquer" with his loyal audience. Surrounded by Fred NIcolle (The Blues Maker, Trente) on bass and Fabrice Trovato (Koritni, Trente, Charcoal, Eric McFadden, The Blues Maker), Stocks now relies on a solid rhythm section that respects the 'trio' spirit so dear to ZZ TOP and Rory Gallagher. The latter may have influenced the band, but they are still the spiritual source that Stocks wants to share with the public. After a successful comeback at the Vouziers Festival (Oct. 2024), the 3 Blues Rockers are back on the road, reviving the band's classics: Suzy, Cole Younger, La Tête à l'envers, J'vais craquer, Fallait que j'te dise, Ou tu cours... Authentic and sincere, both powerful and bluesy, each concert reveals a tight-knit group eager to share over an hour of musical travel between Lille and Chicago! The road is opening up again for the band, so don't miss out. And to celebrate their comeback, they're reissuing their third album, their most accomplished to date!
