Amazon.com's Best of 1998
This poet, painter, and former lawyer from Asti, Italy, has been dazzling Italian audiences since the early 1970s but has just blazed into U.S. consciousness like a meteor with his Best Of debut album on Nonsesuch. After listening to his European style of cabaret music, you too will be hooked on the crooner who is widely appreciated for rhyming Napoli with Minneapoli. The selection of 20 songs ranges in style from a mixture of French chansonette to tango. All feature his raspy voice (Americans may be reminded of Tom Waits) with unmistakably wry lyrics that offer lovers and listeners alike the sensuality and complexity of gelato al limon (lemon ice cream). --Cristina Del Sesto

Paolo Conte is a completely original talent, and his leathery, life-weary face on the cover is the first clue to the evocative music of this poet, painter, musician, and lawyer from Asti in northern Italy. Observations on the tide of human existence deftly rendered in vividly poetic lines that startle with their originality are highlighted in smoky vignettes of '40s jazz- and tango-inflected tunes, teetering between Cabaret, The Circus, and 42nd Street. Conte's unfiltered raspy voice is the perfect vehicle for his poignant view of the foibles of adult life mused from the corner barstool, admiring women whose "pungent smells [beckon] him like an old-fashioned grocery, its doors flung open to the spring outside." The music is a treat in itself, but the real gold is to be found in his lyrics, and luckily translations are in the liner notes. --Derek Rath

Customer Review:
Album méconnu à découvrir; pour toutes les âmes d'enfant.
C'est plus qu'une bande dessinée, cela vaut le coup d'y aller faire un petit tour ou de l'offrir à une personne qu'on aime pour lui dire qu'il n'est pas tout seul.... que c'est pas facile de "grandir" mais qu'on est là près de lui.

L'histoire :
Un petit bonhomme attachant (mais surtout un peu maladroit dans la vie)est malheureux : sa tête fait "bong" à chaque fois qu'il se prend quelquechose dans la figure (ce qui lui arrive fréquemment... sisi...). Son docteur lui apprend que c'est parce qu'il est vide, et qu'il va lui falloir se remplir. "???" pense le petit-homme qui se lance alors dans la quête du bonheur.

Une petite fable poétique très mignonne sur les choses pas si faciles de la vie...

Customer Reviews:

Good, but probably not best of his CDs.......2007-02-16

This is the only Paolo Conte CD I've heard. I bought it after hearing
the intoxicating Via con Me track from the German movie "Mostly Martha".
Unfortunately, the Via con Me track on this CD is not identical, and not
as suavely romantic as the movie track. In my view, the large collection of songs are rather hit and miss, but not a bad value for
the price. Highlights include Elisir, Gong-Oh, Alle Prese con una Verde Milonga, and Ballato Di Tutto. Best songs keep to his rhythmic swing
and pulsating piano with catchy key changes. There's also some nice
stand-up bass and guitar on a few tracks. Songs fall flat when too
experimental with voice or tacky musical stylings. Overall, a decent introduction, but I'd be shocked if one of the other compilations wasn't more elegant and swinging.

Hypnotic, highly addictive.......2000-08-30

Paolo Conte's music is hypnotic. Though I hardly understand a word of Italian, the combination of Conte's voice, rendition, melodies, and arrangement is spellbinding. My 12 year old son calls it 'deep music'. All in all, it is not as easy listening as 'Aquaplano' (one of Conte's albums) but ultimately at least as rewarding. The collection includes 'Sparring Partner' that my son and I played over and over during the first few weeks that we owned the CD. It was literally addictive. 'Via con me', 'Boogie', and the classic 'Max' are equally attractive. Other tracks, such as 'Ho ballato di tutto' require a bit more careful listening before they draw you in, and they will. This collection is a very good introduction to Paolo Conte's works. Highly recommended.
