This is the only Jesse song played on the smooth jazz stations. While I like it, I'd prefer to hear some other Jesse, some Ottmar Liebert, more Strunz & Farah, Gypsy Kings (no vocals!), et al. Not to discount Paco DeLucia and a host of others.

More Jesse, please.
terrific guitarist.

More Spanish guitar ! ! !

Who gives a shit what the guy/cover looks like.This is feckin MUSIC!

This music is nothing short of amazing!
He caught my ear with a tune on here yesterday, and now this again today.....keep "Cooking" RP!

My favorite cooking is done with red wine!

I'm with GChevy410 on the album cover comment. dude does look like a tard. I still gave the song a 10 but had to close my eyes.

Great graphic, that's what I thought of when I saw the title. Nice fingerpicking.
I read the other comments. This poor dude probably could use a flatiron, something about that oval broad jaw and pale face just doesnt seem to gel with those curls... I'd expect a Segal ponytail or a buzz cut.
And the pose, the guitar looks like its being subjected to Globetrotter tricks it wasnt intended for.

Great Guitar in this tune espically by Jesse Cook

KPIG used to play this during their "local ad" breaks when they were just on the internet, pre-XM.

I always wondered what the album cover looked like. What a silly looking guitar!

wow. un....be...lieveable picture. tremendous Jeri curl">

So, what do we give for moronic comments? Generally, you say intelligent things, but this thing...ain't.

Still an excellent tune from a very entertaining dude, who you gotta catch in concert if you can.

did the gypsy kings ever do this song as well? i thought for some reason this was one of theirs...

gets an 8 ... minus 3 for looking retarded on the cover

Now that you mention it, yes.

What a scary dude though...

Did anyone else notice this song being used by one of the female ice skaters in the Olympics?

Many are commenting on this man's hair style -- probably due to its specific effect on the recorded sound. Funny though . . . to me, this track sounds like the guitarist who's playing has curly hair but darker, and slightly shorter, than as depicted. Hmmmm. That's odd.

I gave him the beinfit and gave it an 8. I hope that he uses the change to get a hair style, he looks like Michael Bolton and that aint good.

Watered-down flamenco for the masses.

Always like this guy's stuff.

Ottmar, by about 5 years. While friends say he's a real d!ckhead up in Santa Fe, he's been doing his thing (on widely distributed albums) since around 1990, whereas Jesse, who's the nicest guy you've ever met, put his first album in 1995. But yeah, the hair needs to go. :-D

Excellent tune from one of my favorite rumba flamenco guitarists. ;-)

Hey, a Canadian gypsy!!

methinks the leibert came first. I'd been listening to leibert for about 5 yeasr before discovering Cook. I now prefer Cook's style.
