Mexico Con Amor - Jose Feliciano

Advantages: relaxing, mellow, classics with a twist - fantastic
Disadvantages: too much instrumental, when he sings so beautifully

...What can i say about Jose Feliciano. Firstly let me say i am only 35 but discovered him about 6 years ago when i was on holiday at a cottage and this was one of the only cds there and there was no tv. By the end of the weekend i was sold. I think he is from the sixties or seventies but his music is timeless. Guitar based / spanish style versions of some classic songs from the Beatles to The Doors. When Will Young did 'light my fire' it is definately the Jose Feliciano version he did!!! There are many greatest hits cds of his, this one includes many of the greatest songs but the only down side is that some of them are instrumental(guitar) versions which are great but lack his amazing vocal talents. Such as 'and i love her' If you don't know much about him he is blind and plays guitar superbly - not that i know alot about guitar... Read review

He sat down with some pringles and a glass of orange squash and enjoyed the whole film. The next following days he couldn't help but talk about it to all his friends, many who hadn't seen it were persuaded to do so by the boy. One of the main things he liked about the film, besides the story and acting, was the music that accompanied the film. So, he set out to buy the soundtrack for just £6.99 from HMV. As soon as he got home he played the CD and was amazed by how brilliant each song was. From that day on he constantly listened to the album at least once a day, playing it as background...

...of all, being made from a thin cardboard, fastend with two magnetic strips. It would be hard to find a mint copy from 1996, maybe they still make this new but if they do, i doubt it would have the cardboard cover. This maybe something to look for if you are a collector of rare, mint music items, as the cover can easily break. but as I said, its the most striking and different design. Track listing... 1. Walking on air. by Jose padilla. 2. tones. by Nova nova. 3. Sueno con Mexico. by Pat metheny. 4. Blue bar. by Afterlife. 5. Emotions of paradise. by Miro. 6.
