Mysterious CD

Our friend Mel is over from France visiting her folks, so she came round this evening and we went to the Vaults for something to eat and a fragrant dram. She brought with her a CD that a French friend had brough back from his hols (quote: "a very popular singer in Belarus"). We listened to a few tracks and agreed that there was a strong whiff of George Brassens about it even though the lyrics were incomprehensible. We had to grapple with the cyrillic alphabet before being able to ask Mr Google anything sensible but eventually found him; Vladimir Vysotsky. Crumbs; I feel that my life has been really quite uneventful in comparison.

The CD isn't mentioned in his discography so is almost certainly a bootleg.
