Most of the stuff is being reissued, and a nice reissue project it is.
Among some of the reissues, I really like Comic Strip, as it has some 
Brigitte Bardot vocals on it (eric is going through this 'crush on brigitte 
bardot' phase... sorta similar to the 'crush on isabelle adjani' phase of 
1998) but it has quite a few of his classic tunes. You could also go out and 
get the Melody Nelson album, which I really like.

Mick Harvey put out two albums of Gainsbourg covers. I have the second one, 
Pink Elephants, and well, it's ok. They're faithful reproductions, but 
doesn't realy add anything interesting.

I've been enjoying alot of Merle Haggard this year.

Of course, there's always Hank III.
