I bought this at lunch. I haven't made it all the way through, but I like it alot. I don't think it really compares to Buena Vista Social Club because in my opinion they're two different animals. I was kinda of leary at first because I wasn't so sure that this was a good concept, but so far Cooder is pulling it off with flying colors.

Yeah, I liked this one quite a bit on first listen.

I think it rocks.

It's fucking awesome. Period.

Yep... he's pulled off something strange... it's brilliant and keeps getting better with every listen.

I was born and raised very close to Chavez Ravine and was alive in the 50's. He's not kidding.
