Texafrance-Encore! was produced by Albert's soft times duet partner Chris Gage and features a mixed bag of music, from the familiar "Mademoiselle de Paris" and jazz master Stephane Grapellis lively "Coucou" to the 18th-century ballad-turned-folk-song "Plaisir d Amour".
April was a fitting month for the release of Paris, Texafrance the third in the Texafrance series. Again produced by Chris Gage, the CD includes songs by Alberts inspiration, Edit Piaf, as well as tunes from Charles Trenet with English translations handled by Ms. Albert. The music is warm and acoustic and the character of a 100 year old Bechstein grand piano in Gage’s hands is the centerpiece. Ms. Albert’s voice has matured and the possessor of one of the best and purest voices in Austin, Texas (3rd Coast Magazine) shines on this outing.
