Review

The Guardian - "Out go guitars (mostly). In come wistful saxophones, old New Orleans jazz and music made to waft through a fog of Gitanes smoke in some forgotten European bar This may be his best album since 1977's LUST FOR LIFE"

Review

Spin (p.91) - "Iggy still flashes his charm and humor, as on 'King of the Dogs,' a randy New Orleans boogie..."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.94) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Iggy emerges as a serious, sensitive singer-songwriter draped in exotic musical tapestries, but still unmistakably Ignacious."

Product note

Iggy Pop's 2009 release, PRELIMINAIRES, is certainly one of the more ambitious projects of his long and infamous career. Inspired in part by the writings of French author Michele Houellebecq, the album is more broadly a tip of the cap to the sensuality of French culture. Stylistically diverse, PRELIMINAIRES finds the proto-punk icon touching on New Orleans second-line brass ("King of the Dogs"), bluesy acoustic numbers ("He's Dead/She's Alive"), and, naturally, chanson ("Les Feuilles Mortes").
Iggy has always possessed a slithery baritone croon, and the jazzy noir qualities of PRELIMINAIRES allow him to indulge this often underrated quality in his voice. While there might be some arguable clunkers here, PRELIMINAIRES is ultimately a late-career creative gamble that pays off--positioning Iggy as an outlaw musician more in line with the likes of Scott Walker and Serge Gainsbourg than the legions of snot-nosed punks he inspired.
