It was undoubtedly the Texan singer Calvin Russell (1948–2011)—with whom he collaborated as a songwriter and producer on the album *Dawg Eat Dawg* (2009)—who sparked a new musical direction for the Parisian Manu Lanvin. The sharp turn taken after Russell’s passing marked the beginning of Lanvin’s solo career and the release of his own albums. Between 2000 and 2007, the emphasis of his first three albums (*Venir au Monde* [2000], *Les Temps Mauvais* [2005], and *Faible Humain* [2007]) was primarily on rock. With the power trio Devil Blues, Manu Lanvin finally found the path that suited him perfectly. Following their debut *Mauvais Casting* (2012), things moved at breakneck speed, opening doors for this bluesman and his band. *Grand Casino* is a pure Blues 'n' Roll album featuring prestigious friends—such as Taj Mahal, Beverly Jo Scott, Johnny Gallagher, and Popa Chubby—answering the call of "the Devil." *Grand Casino* is Manu Lanvin’s seventh album overall—and his fourth with Devil Blues—following *Blooze, Booze & Rock’N’Roll* (2016). The album is remarkable in its own right, thanks to its special guests; no fewer than Taj Mahal ("So Come Down"), Beverly Jo Scott ("The Devil Does It Right"), and Popa Chubby (covering Willie Dixon's "Spoonful") joined Manu "the Devil" Lanvin for the project. The result is an album featuring (blues) classics—such as AC/DC’s "Highway to Hell," the Rolling Stones’ "Satisfaction," and B.B. King’s "Rock Me Baby"—alongside new original material like "When It’s Too Late" and the ballads "Lost Under the Waves" and "I Don’t Love You." The closing track "Je Suis Le Diable"—performed by Lanvin featuring Paul Personne—serves as the final burst of fireworks that really sets the party ablaze. With *Grand Casino*, master entertainer Manu Lanvin hits the mark with the general public; his collection of rock classics, complemented by new material, is sure to create a fantastic atmosphere.
