He is technically good, but makes boring music. Just no variations what so ever. He keeps repeating the same one riff all the time.  But more Spanish guitar on RP would be good! |

Look at that he must be balancing that guitar on edge like that...must be 'gravity'....cool...wait...the end of the guitar out of the view is being held up by some goon with his "thumbs up" gesture....Great music though. Well said sirrah!  |

Wow... That's awesome. I totally forgive the TERRIBLE cover! This is one of those albums I wouldn't give a second glance in a music store just due to the 80's Kenny G look. Maybe I'll download the MP3s just so I don't have to look at it...  (edit... just read all the additional comments below. i totally agree — go with the look you like. but you can't blame people for pointing out the obvious!) |

He's a funny, warm guy really into his audiece as we were into him. |

Its sometimes a relief when you know of an artist before you heard him on RP - makes me believe that my outlets aren't so limited. I do dig Jesse Cook - anything at all!! |

You're 100% correct. Which makes me even more ashamed that my first reaction when I opened up with song link was something on the order of eyes popping out of my head. I used to play with a guitar player who did a very similar thing to his hair (except he ALSO had a blond strip down the middle... I have no idea why). It took the guy an hour and a half to get ready to do anything. Maintaining a 'do like that requires serious metro-effort. I liked the song of course. smehan55 wrote:

Cool story. Thanks for sharing! I just love the Gipsy Kings, too. Just a sucker for this kind of acostic guitar I am! |

Argh. I am trying really hard not to let that lame cover art influence my rating for the music!
Because, wow, the coolness of the guitar is only matched by the lameness of that hair.
