Eddy Mitchell - Rocking In Nashville + Olympia 1975 [40Th Anniversary Edition/3 Discs]_CD3 (2014)

Claude Moine (stage name Eddy Mitchell, born July 3rd, 1942), sometimes called "The French Elvis" began his career already in the late 50's. He often recorded outside France, in this case in Nashville, TN in 1974 what resulted in his "Rocking In Nashville" release where he hired high in demand session players who were members of "The Nashville A-Team".
In May 1975 he performed at the Olympia Hall in Paris backed up by members of progressive Country act BAREFOOT JERRY. Portions of the concert were first published on a single LP called "Rockin' In Nashville Live At The Olympia May 1975" on Barclay Records.
2014 saw a 3 discs-set reissue of the original 1974 album plus the complete concert from May 1975 on discs 2 & 3 entitled "40th Anniversary Edition".
