Vladimir Vissotsky - Self-Portrait (1981)

Just found this record by the great (political) russian folk singer:

It's highly recommendable, this is music with artistic integrity that comes straight from the heart.

Ever saw "White Nights" ? When Barishnikov visits Helen Mirren in the theatre, he then dances to a song by Vissotzky. One of cinema's finest moments which I never forgot (and it's about 20 years since then !). From then on I was hooked on Vissotzky's music.

Hey, thanks a lot for this. I heard a song on an internet station (a tango station, I believe) and wanted to hear more.
