Michel and Hélèn Aubertin form a perfect couple. Michel is an ambitious notary and Hélèn splits her time between charity work and raising their son. There is nothing unusual about them apart from the fact that Michel has a dark secret: every weekend, he goes to Les Épicéas, his house in the Vosges forest, and turns into Mylène.

Jim Byrnes is a leading Canadian bluesman, a guy who has been around the block a few times and knows and understands the music perfectly. Now nearing the age of seventy, Byrnes is again joined here by producer and guitarist Steve Dawson, the seventh time the pair have worked together. Dawson’s fretwork is always tasteful, refined and grounded in blues with traditional flourishes and flair.
