Review by Margaret Spence

Alright, let’s dive into Whisky Club by Miss La Velle and Joe Hinton. This 1960 French blues gem on Disques Pop is the kind of album that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. It’s got that raw, unpolished charm that makes you feel like you’re sitting in some smoky club in Paris, drink in hand, while life just kinda happens around you. First off, let’s talk about “Stop These Teardrops.” Man, this track hits different. The way Miss La Velle belts out those lyrics—like she’s lived every word—is just goosebump material. You can almost picture her standing center stage, pouring her heart out to a crowd that doesn’t quite know how lucky they are to hear her. There’s something about the simple piano riff running through it too; it feels like the musical equivalent of rain dripping down a windowpane. It’s not flashy, but damn if it ain’t effective. Then there’s “Pretty Little Mama,” which flips the mood entirely. If “Teardrops” is all soulful ache, this one’s more playful—like someone winking at you from across the room. Joe Hinton steps up here with his smooth-as-hell delivery, and together with Miss La Velle, they create this vibe that’s equal parts flirty and fun. I couldn’t help but smile every time the saxophone solo kicked in—it’s the cherry on top of an already tasty slice of rhythm & blues pie. The other tracks, like “Will You” and “Yes, I’ve Been Trying,” keep the energy alive without overshadowing the standouts. They’re solid enough, but honestly, it’s those first two songs that stick with me long after the needle lifts off the record. What gets me thinking, though, is how this album came out in France back in 1960. Like, who was brave enough to say, “Yeah, let’s put out a bluesy R&B record in French record stores?” It’s wild to think about how music traveled even before Spotify made everything accessible. And hey, maybe that’s why Whisky Club feels so special—it wasn’t trying to be anything other than what it was: real, heartfelt, and kinda messy in the best possible way. So yeah, give this one a spin if you’re into music that tells a story without needing to shout about it. Just don’t blame me if you find yourself humming “Stop These Teardrops” for days afterward. Oh, and grab a whisky while you’re at it—it kinda feels wrong not to. Cheers!
