Putain de camion

Putain de camion is a studio album from French artist Renaud, released in 1988 by Virgin France.

The first song, Jonathan, refers to white South African musician Johnny Clegg who became a friend of Renaud. Rouge-gorge was dedicated to Robert Doisneau and Allongés sous les vagues is a song deriding commercial music. Putain de camion (i.e. Fucking truck) was written after the death of French humorist Coluche, another friend of Renaud, who was killed when his motorcycle collided with a truck.

The cover picture is a papavers bouquet, flowers that Coluche loved.
