DeGregori surged to popularity in the early seventies with a string of remarkably high quality singles, with respect to the general national broadcasting standard of self-defined " national popular hits". For what my opinion's worth, I still consider one of those, Rimmel, as one of the most delicate and poignant love songs composed by an Italian singer-songwriter (and even in more general). The album Buffalo Bill included a host of interesting tracks, in primis the one from which the album took its name, and the Dylanesque, "L'uccisione di Babbo Natale" (Father Christmas' Assassination), which it's covered here and delivers a subtle criticism to the at the time mainstream, flower-power-love&peace stereotype. Ironically, the author ended up being associated with similar stereotypes, notably the champagne socialists/ rococos' communist of these days. I hope you enjoy this version.
