info 

After 7 albums devoted to his maternal cultural heritage (Jewish from Transylvania) klezmer-clarinettist Yom returns with a reinterpretation of the American exile of his father in the 50s in the US. It's his review of this family legend, a crossing of romantic America, nostalgic, dreamy but also arid and violent. An album of folk songs ?clarinettistiques? that he ?sings? for his father, and for all those who spend their lives on the road, nomads, hobos, displaced, refugees.
