Sinners Album

SINNERS

Les Sinners broke up sometime in 1968 but reformed two years later, with only drummer Louis Parizeau left over from the original band. In this edition, the other bandmembers were Alain Jodoin (vocals and bass guitar), Jean-Guy “Arthur” Cossette (lead guitar) and Daniel Valois (rhythm guitar, flute and vocals). The newly reformed Sinners were signed to the Trans-World label and released a new album in 1971. For the third time, the album name is practically the same, this time being Sinners; though the album cover is more sinister-looking. The album is mostly in French and has a different sound (as might be expected with a floutist on board); there is at least one English-language song this time out, called “Groovy”. Two singles were released from the album in 1971; after being dropped by Trans-World, Les Sinners put out another six singles on three other record labels in 1972 and 1973.
