Chatterton is the ninth studio album by French rocker Alain Bashung, issued in 1994 on Barclay Records.
The music melt the use of pedal steel guitar with synths, for instance on "J'passe pour une caravane" ("They mistake me for a caravan"), and the style was dubbed "country new age" by Bashung himself. The most well-known track on the album in France is "Ma petite entreprise" ("My little business") which was popularized when it was used as the theme song to the movie My Little Business by Pierre Jolivet in 1999.
In 2010, the French edition of Rolling Stone magazine named this album the 40th greatest French rock album (out of 100).[1]
