Slow Show présente son Best Of 2016 !

20/12/16 – Pour beaucoup, 2016 était une sale année. Pourtant, de très bons disques ont vu le jour, mais le triste départ (plus ou moins précipité et/ou attendu) de quelques grands noms de ce monde, a tout bonnement obscurci l’ensemble. Adieu David Bowie, Otis Clay, Leonard Cohen, Phife Dawg, George Martin, Prince et Sharon Jones (pour ne citer qu’eux). Vous nous manquerez…mais la vie continue!
Voici une sélection de nos disques favoris en 2016. Vous n’en trouverez pas 100, ni 50, mais 10, parce que c’est largement suffisent, avec pour certains, nos critiques à l’appui.
