Title: Mostly a diappointment, but ONE GIANT surprise
Product review: I too am a fan of the Buena Vista Social Club phenomenon, and I too looked forward to hearing what Ry Cooder had found, again. Like a few other reviewers, I found the playing somewhat uninspired. For those familiar with the classic "Patricia", was this version anything but ordinary? Did you not anticipate one new riff, one new angle to this tune? Track 7, "Bodas de oro" is the best of the cuts. Now for the surprise: At the beginning of track 11, "Boleros sonambulo", I hear this incredible piano, so I go to the liner notes, and there is NO piano listed! Ry Cooder is given credit for electric piano on 2 tracks, but NO piano for Track 11. Listen carefully, it is, undoubtedly, yes, it is REUBEN GONZALEZ! Yes, it's him, and unmistakeable! What a find! Please, give us more before he's gone...
