| evermovingtarget (Burlington, Canada) | Posted: Feb 12, 2013 - 14:06 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! |

Well said sirrah!  |

| two2fly (Madison, Wisconsin, US) | Posted: Feb 02, 2010 - 18:55 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!! |
| greyfin10 (Panama City, FL) | Posted: Dec 19, 2008 - 07:42 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: Why the hell are people so uptight about hair? It's his head, his life, his choice, get over yourself. |

About halfway home, the DJ came on and started talking about Jesse Cook. Apparently Jesse's parents split when he was young, and he would spend his winters in Canada with his mom and his summers with his dad in southwestern France. His dad's next-door neighbor was Nicolas Reyes, the lead singer of the Gipsy Kings. Cool story. Thanks for sharing! I just love the Gipsy Kings, too. Just a sucker for this kind of acostic guitar I am! |

| jagdriver (Auburn, CA) | Posted: Jul 02, 2007 - 21:38 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. |
| Tagish_girl (desperatley seeking hammock) | Posted: Jun 01, 2007 - 13:55 More Jesse, please. terrific guitarist. |

| dreadpixie | Posted: Feb 27, 2007 - 07:59 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. |
| KarimMosna | Posted: Jan 05, 2007 - 12:34 Great Guitar in this tune espically by Jesse Cook |
| fretman | Posted: Dec 15, 2006 - 10:47 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! |

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. |
| TheJestress (CorporateWonderLand) | Posted: Jul 07, 2006 - 10:31 did the gypsy kings ever do this song as well? i thought for some reason this was one of theirs... |
