Marianne Dissard - L'Entredeux

For me, this seemed like something of a 'can't miss' proposition - a mix of two of my favourite things in French chanson and dusty Americana - and it is good. "Merci De Rien Du Tout" is the one that introduced me to Dissard, and it's a highlight; the languorous "Cayenne" is another. It's all done with a contemporary - and contemporarily nostalgic - sensibility, and inevitably (given its sources), with a cinematic flavour.
