Title: Another Great CD - Should We Even Be Surprised??
Review: Gloria bangs out another 18 great songs, of different rhythms and sounds and feelings, but all very reminiscent of her earlier days. Not to say that this album sounds repetititve, but there's a certain sound that is thread throughout that gives you the feeling you've heard these songs before. It's truly an amazing effect that only someone who has been successfully recording music for over 20 years can do. I was quite anxious to hear this album because I had heard such great things about it, and I let myself slip into the "maybe it'll be another Mi Tierra" mindset. Note to self: There will only be ONE Mi Tierra. Don't expect another. But all in all, Gloria is herself on this album, always introspective, never pretentious. By now she's perfected the recipe for a great album. I only wish there were a few more songs in Spanish, as the ones included on this album do truly glow.
