Roulette russe
''Roulette russe'' ''(Russian roulette)'' is the second album by French rocker Alain Bashung, issued in 1979 on Philips Records. The album was reissued the following years with a couple of songs dropped and the two songs from his breakthrough single, ''Gaby oh Gaby'', added.
== Production ==
In 1979, Alain Bashung was 32 and although he began his career in music more than ten years before, he met no success after the commercial failures of his first singles and his first album, ''Roman-photos'' (''Fotonovelas'') which Bashung later disowned. He often said that ''Roulette russe'' was a "last-chance album" of sort.
The album has a rather dark mood, with songs dealing with personal matters, like ''Elsass Blues'' about his childhood in Alsace ("J'suis né tout seul près d'la frontière, celle qui vous faisait si peur hier" which means "I was born alone near the border, that very border that you feared yesterday"), but the absurd humour that would be his trademark on his albums with lyricist Boris Bergman was already present.
Standouts from the album include ''Je fume pour oublier que tu bois'' ("I smoke to forget that you drink") (first single from the album in 1979), ''Bijou, bijou'' ("Jewel, jewel") or ''Toujours sur la ligne blanche'' ("Still on the white line") which would remain concert staples.
