Not bad for Narada

Narada signs up modern "flamenco" artists but I gave it a try anyway. It's not all that bad considering it's labeled "Flamenco: Fire and Grace". All tracks are modern flamenco and most are those types that are called "background music" or "elevator music". I am a traditional flamenco guitarist so excuse me for being biased but modern flamenco just doesn't move me. There's just no passion in it. And why was that particular Jesse Cook track on the cd? It's like something I would listen to to help me with my bowel movements.

Narada does it again

How is it that narada can pick over tons of albums and not come up with better compilations?This album is boring and the music is not even real flamenco.If you want authentic Spanish guitar music check out any number of awesome classical recordings by Julian Bream or John Williams and their performance of the works of Rodrigo,Sor,Albeniz,Granados,DeFalla,Sanz,Milan,Mudarra,and numerous traditional works.

Excellent 1st album in this great catagory

This remains an all time favorite. Every artist here is top flight.You can listen to this over and over and still enjoy it more and more. In fact the only other album in this genre that gives this a run for the money is the 3 CD set called Duende, which also steered me to my favorites in this genre. Every performance is top flight and essential to anyone with any interest in Flamenco. Lots of other artists are trying to horn in on the interest in this genre like Ottmar Liebert- which is like cold dishwater.Listen and decide for youself
