Great song. I looked at your info for this and saw the original release date listed as 1990. I remember this around high school/college days. I think 1977 or there about is the correct date. Maybe 1990 was a reissue?

You are correct, sir! 1977. There's a good wikipedia article on this recording.

I thought this was the intro of Al Stewarts live version of the song On the Border until I looked at the playlist. Still it resembles it i.m.o.

Just perfect ! Fabulous. Si la version du trio avec Mc Laughlin et Paco de Lucia est impressionnante, celle-ci reste la plus belle.

Oh yes, and if I may also recommend Paco de Lucia's "Entre Dos Aguas" (from 1973's album "Fuente y Caudal") … Their finger work always blows me away. Straight 10.

I love this song, and bought the album based on it. Turns out that was a bit of a mistake, as the rest is this moderately interesting jazz fusion stuff, but completely different, and in my option far inferior to this! I probably should have just bought this track and called it good.

Nonetheless, this song is pretty freaking amazing!

The good and bad thing about hearing this is 1) It's causing me to open my iTunes library and play Electric Rendezvous, and 2) log off of Radio Paradise and not be surprised again for the next 40 minutes.

Thanks, and apologies, Bill.

Only on RP you get surprises like this. I bought this album a couple of years ago and it's never been far from my stereo. This track is by far the closest to traditional flamenco. All the others are experimental, but in a good way. Al is one of the top guitarists ever. Bill, any chance of playing a song from the album he did with the Azerbi pianist, Aziza Mustafa? That's a hell of a record. It's called "Dance of Fire". A ten in my opinion. And so is this melody.

A fun blast from the past. Has aged wonderfully, as all good music does.
