viasualize paradise.......2006-08-30
I would recommend this CD. A friend of mine had this Cd, I liked it so much I had to get my own copy. I have also had a lot of other friends ask about this CD.
I'm not a deticated fan of tis music as others may be but if you are oing to start anywhere, this is one you want. To me, all the songs are gtreat to listen to. The songs will take you to another world.
A Pleasure.......2006-06-26
This CD is fantastic for anyone who loves Flaminco and the Flaminco guitar. It surges with energy and might just have you "dancing in the streets" or rushing out to sign up for lessons. Enjoy it; you won't be disappointed. P.S. I have heard and seen live Flaminco in Seville, more than once, and this one really took me back with even greater awe and admiration, in addition to the otherwise wonderful memories.
great new flamenco.......2006-03-26
OK let me just settle all this criticism for all those who may want to buy this cd. First of all I play flamenco guitar professionally. There are 50 different styles of flamenco that are well know and countless others that arene't so well known.
Within those styles are hundreds of compas most based on the city in Spain of origin. There are a myriad of time signatures including the 12 meter hemiolic which most common in Bulerias.
I have reviewed this and other CD's like Flamenco chill and comment without reserve that these are flamenco songs. The "modernization" of flamenco music can be equated to blues appearing in every rock recording for the last 50 years. An old type flamenco recording would usually be a concert piece from Tarraga or Jerez or one those classically trained flamenco artists. It could well be argued that they classicized flamenco which ripped out all the guts and soul of the music. The amazing picado runs, powerful rageos, and alzapua licks are all mandatory elements of flamenco. If one would participate in a juelgo they would see a cajon, castenettes, palmas, cante, baille etc...this is a letre..a play of sorts with everyone responding to the cante. To listen to this in a recording would be like listening to the sound of a baseball game..there would be so much missing that it would be a complete waste of time.
SO stop tying to be mr. know it all and just enjoy music for what it is..an expression of human emotion....peace out
Sizzling Guitar.......2006-02-25
i'm an amature but trust me this fusion of guitars is one of the BEST your ears could ever..rythym,skill,harmony all in one.
"New Flamenco" not new Flamenco.......2005-12-07
With apologies to Mr. L.K. Coleman and his utterly misleading Spotlight Review, this album does not pretend to be anything but what it is. Flamenco is a traditional form of music born in Andalusian Spain and created from Indian, Arabic, Jewish, Romano-Iberian and Celto-Iberian elements. GYPSY PASSION and its successors in the Narada catalogue are examples of Nuevo Flamenco or "New Flamenco" which is a style of Fusion incorporating traditional Flamenco, Jazz, Rock, Classical, and other musics. Either Mr. Coleman doesn't know about New Flamenco as a school of performance, or he's a purist who just dislikes it.
In either case, this album deserves five stars as a lively, engaging and pleasurable listening experience. And yes, "New Flamenco" has revitalized the traditional Andalusian form in modern-day Spain. GYPSY PASSION is absolutely worth your time.

Classic Seventies Music.......2006-11-27
Lobo is one of those talented artists from the Seventies that everyone has heard of, but can't place. His most famous hit was, "Me And You And A Dog Named Boo", a number one hit with a romantic breezy feel with simple chords and lyrics. "I'd Love You To Want Me" was also a big number with Robert Johnson guesting as back-up falsetto vocalist.
The rest of the album is a smart selection of love songs and low key poetic verses of the typical Top 40 genre, but presented extremely well. "A Simple Man" is masterful in it's mood and contains Lobo's earmarked guitar work.
If you like one of the songs on this collection, you'll like them all. It's first rate seventies pop.
Very Best Of Lobo by Lobo.......2006-02-18
This is a trluy JEWEL from this extraorinary super talented singer-song writer. My surprsie is that all the tracks are brand new versions! & they are beautifully done, with his mastery of being such a simple man doing great loving mellow music with a very high quality (unlike todays noise makings). He actually sat down with his great team & played music again! My very favorites along with his great hits are Stoney, Faithful, Don't tell me goodnight & of course Me & You & a Dog Named Boo wich sounds a little diferent (like all tracks) but always spectacular. Where are you Lobo? We need you back,, wherever you are, God Bless you & have you in good health. We Love you & never forget you, We long for you. Definitely a more than 5 star rated album & musician.-
Keep em' coming Lobo........2005-12-27
The Best Of Lobo CD is a great edition to any fan of Lobo collection. The Very Best Of Lobo has the best from his early (tracks 1-10) years such as....Me And You And A Dog Named Boo and A Simple Man, to current recordings(11-18) such as...Dream Lover and The End Of The World. Two favorites of the newer recordings, Yellow River and Back Bay are really the standouts on this disc. A very soothing singing voice that's not raspy or whiney. With a great backup band to match. A very under-rated singer/songwriter Lobo is still one of the best!
Two classics and other great songs.......2005-03-16
Born Kent Lavoie, Lobo had three American top ten hits, these being Me and you and a dog named Boo (a novelty song, but brilliantly done), I'd love you to want me (a song he offered to the Hollies before deciding to release his own version after they wanted to change it and take half the songwriting royalties) and Don't expect me to be your friend. The first two of these were also huge hits in Britain. He had several other lesser American hits, but no more UK hits.
On this compilation you will find Lobo's big hits, some of his other great songs and his covers of the classic songs It doesn't matter anymore (Buddy Holly), End of the world (Skeeter Davis), Dream lover (Bobby Darin), Will you still love me tomorrow (Shirelles) and Let it be me (Everly brothers).
Lobo's style could variously be described as soft rock or folk-pop. Actually it was a mix of all these elements. If you like Bread, but you'd like something a bit folksier, Lobo may be just what you're looking for.
Missing Rings.......2004-05-18
This is a great compilation with one MAJOR flaw: it does not include one of my favorite Lobo songs of all time "Rings." If you are looking for a greatest hits with Rings, the only one to get is the Rhino collection. I wish I had paid more attention when ordering this disc. I am very disappointed that Rings is missing. :(

I love this CD. The day I got it I turned off the lights and played it to relax and be surrounded by the music. Since then I love having it on as background music whenever I feel the need to escape.
Zambra.......2006-02-28
Awesome CD. All Willie and Lobo CDs are great but now Rick Braun is back producing and performing again the notched got raised again. This album is great for the heart and the soul, a must addition.

Lobo's Greatest Hits.......2006-11-05
A nostalgic trip back to the 70's from one of the decade's underrated artists. A pleasant listening experience to an easy sounding performer.
Excellent Songs but..........2005-03-08
The Best of Lobo on Rhino has more songs and after I got it, I haven't played this one since. Just the same, the songs are all great, and any Lobo fan will not be disappointed. Also consider the Import album, The Very Best of Lobo. I also bought all of Lobo's early albums (with extra cuts and at great prices) from Amazon.com.UK when they were available. Introducing Lobo/Of a Simple Man is still available on one CD (23 cuts). Calumet (Import) with 15 cuts, is available used or from other dealers and has some the 10 original and 5 extra cuts, including the original version of Stoney never released before (completely changes the feel, but worth the price by itself),and includes the single versions (radio play) of A Simple Man, How Can I Tell Her, and Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend-different from the album cuts (the album cut of How Can I Tell Her is there also, of course, while the other two album cuts are from other albums). Also look for Just a Singer which also includes the entire album of A Cowboy Afraid Of Horses (22 cuts). Of course if you are a big Lobo fan you may realize he recorded in Asia for a number of years and put out some excellent music, including a song called Sometime which matches up with anything else he ever did. If you can find the Imports of his American albums I described, they are worth the money. If you can find the Albums from Asia (with original songs, not his USA cuts), buy them and you won't be disappointed. Asian Moon is a great one to try (21 tracks. www.fansoflobo.com/ is the ultimate source for Lobo info, the Official website. If you are not a fan of Lobo yet but like acoustic music or any of his songs you've heard, give this album or any of the others a chance. The only album I wouldn't start with is the vinyl version of Just a Singer because you don't get a feel for Lobo as a songwriter, and at his best, or an Asian release that was all instrumental (matching the identical songs he also sang on another album).
Lobo - Greatest Hits.......2003-08-16
Lobo probably never received the recognition he deserved, but those of us who love and identify with his music give him nothing but high marks. It brought back a lot of memories from the mid 1970's for me. It contains the familiar songs "I'd Love You to Want Me" and "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo", plus some lesser known but equally good songs like "How Can I Tell Her", "Way I Came In", and "Don't Expect Me to Be Your Friend". If you love the music from the first half of the 1970's, this CD needs to be a part of your collection. It is highly recommended!
Takes me back to past loves and memories.........2003-03-07
Although the sound quality isn't up to what the quality is on the Rhino CD, this is still good. I had bought the cassettes years ago and they soon stretched from all the playing. I love these songs, they take me back to high school and past loves and losses. This CD has all his classics and I would recommend it highly to all of you that grew up or came of age during that time, you won't regret it.
70's music lover.......2000-05-01
I have this CD and enjoy it very much, though I think the version on rino is better, because of the wider selection of songs. But better still would be a rerelease of Lobo's "A SIMPLE MAN " on CD.

I heard them in New Orleans and was really impressed. They are two naturals whose paths crossed and created an unparalled combination of creativity, spirit, talent, and taste............. TWO MELODY-MAKERS YOU NEVER TIRE OF!
Gypsy-Jazz beautiful music with international flavors!.......1998-09-11
Personally, I own all of Willie & Lobo's recordings. They are awesome! I love the inter-national flavor of their music with so much variety, improvisation, and ability to pick up one's mood. This is my favorite of their recordings.

Editorial Review.......2006-11-06
"The oft heard complaint that there's no originality in today's instrumental music gets a hearty challenge from violinist Willie Royal and acoustic guitarist Wolfgang Fink, collectively known to the world beat audience as Willie and Lobo. The duo base their hypnotic, Corona sipping, Puerto Vallarta bar based sound on various rhythmic elements, including ideas from traditional flamenco, and even classical improvisations. Their sophomore effort, Fandango Nights picks up where their debut left off, with Royal taking his strings to new romantic and percussive heights as Fink lays a Strunz & Farah like groove. The spiciest cuts offer rollicking swings and hints of rock and jazz (check out co-producer Rick Braun's trumpet on the title track). There's even a fascinating take on an Irish jig. But on the downside there seems to be too much jaunty experimentation ('Sweet Meanderings' is right) and attempts to be compositionally meaningful (read: dry balladry). With mostly sparse production, 14 cuts seems to be pushing it. Fuller and tighter might take this phenomenally unique pair to even greater heights. ~ Jonathan Widran, All Music Guide"
Fandango Night is Fantastic.......2006-02-18
I recently purchased my third copy of the CD. My kids keep stealing my copies. This instrumental album is pure joy. Willie and Lobo capure the feeling of far off places and on a long trip this CD is an essential. I have all of their CDs, but this one is their best. Enjoy.
Beautiful music. Gypsy and mid-eastern influences........2004-01-01
Lively, non-conventional, and very pleasant music. Expect to be positively surprised.
The style seems to be a combination of gypsy, flamenco, Arabic tunes and fast-paced rhythms, blended to form something quite distinctive.
Each piece has an interesting name.
There is a piece called "plight of the whales", sad and majestic; close your eyes when you listen to this, and you will see our mammalian cousins, sad and stately, forgiving us as they perish.
Another piece is called "A dozen camels", in honor of the price that a desert-dweller has to pay his loved one's family, to win a bride. Close your eyes, and you'll imagine the camels, one after the other, moving with their regal gait down the sand, and our man, spent with his efforts to earn the money for the beasts, but content with the thought of winning his woman.
There's also a piece called Umm Koulsoum, who I hear was a great Egyptian singer. I closed my eyes but couldn't see anything, maybe because I don't know anything about her :-) so I just closed my eyes and listened to the lovely music!
I come back to this album over and over again. 5 STARS!.......2003-11-22
I first heard this album almost 5 yrs ago, I think, and it still stays with me. Anytime I want music, but don't know what I want to listen to, (too many choices hahaha!) THIS is the album I always reach for. Just sit back and it will take you to sensual sunny, summertime zones you won't want to come back from.
One song sounds like you have been plopped down in ancient Morocco, another will have you toe-tapping all over the house. Each one has a flavor that brings me wonderful unique images.
When the album ends, I always catch myself wishing there was more, and I usually end up playing it over again!
I hope to be able to see them live someday. I have given this album as a gift already twice, and to ppl that are music-finicky. They both loved it.
You won't be disappointed.
Toe tapping of a good time.......2002-06-10
I play this CD every morning. It'll make you salsa around in your own room! Great CD, perfect for a dinner party!

Editorial Review.......2006-11-06
"The guitar and gypsy violin odd couple's debut -- which made a huge splash on both new age and world music charts -- fuses metric changes and melodic intricacies (not to mention sweetness) into an eclectic package that set world music on its ear and continued to do so years later. Willie Royal (violin) and Wolfgang Fink (acoustic guitar) are about as different an act as instrumental music offered in the '90s, with stunning flamenco styled playing (they met playing at a bar in Puerto Vallarta) and lively yet unpredictable swings. While Fink is a great acoustic player, Royal seems to redefine violin playing in a style unlike any other major artist, including Jean Luc Ponty. A gentle 'Sultan's Dream' may perk up thanks to Efrain Toro's percussion and co-producer Rick Braun's trumpet, while a lilting 'Dance With You' goes down like a smooth Corona. 'The Lonely Camel' haunts as easily as 'Allegria' and 'Refrus' energize. Gypsy Boogaloo may take some getting used to, but it's one of the best exotic musical dishes of the early '90s. ~ Jonathan Widran, All Music Guide"
Not really new.......2006-03-14
I didn't do my homework and assumed this was new stuff. Much of the album is the same as the Puerto Vallarta Squeeze, my original introduction to Willie & Lobo. I would have sent the album back but my sister was visiting, loved it, so I gave it to her. Willie & Lobo are in a class all their own. Don't buy this if you already have the original.
Great depth and passion.......2001-06-21
Every track is beautifully crafted. The combination of flamenco guitar, violin, the occassional harmonica, and other ethnic instruments create an atmosphere of mystery. All music is instrumental except for one track where voices are electronically distorted and fused with violin.
Jazz...gypsy violin...or flamenco guitar; Wonderful music!!.......1998-09-11
Willie Royal can play a violin that tugs at your heart; he can immitate sounds in nature with the touch of a string. Lobo layers the music with depth and vitality. What a combination!
terrific music.......1998-07-12
This music is so unique and intriguing. It is truly one-of-a-kind. I enjoy it immensely and look forward to more of it in the future.

A Really Great Album.......2007-03-21
This is a really great album from the early 70's. Strangely, it has been out of print since just after its release. I was very happy to finally get a copy on CD. This is a very melodic enjoyable album.
One of the greatest songwriters of all-time........2006-02-28
Baby, I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Baby, you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be.
There's no simpler or more poetic way of describing the eternal struggle of love. 'I'd Love You to Want Me' would have been a hit for 'The Hollies', but they wouldn't cut Lobo a fair deal for ownership. BIG MISTAKE! Lobo made it into a smash hit for himself in 1972. My dad had the 12" of 'Of A Simple Man' when I was a kid. Love it today just as I did then. Only it's remastered on cd now. Sweet.
It's Finally Released on CD!.......2005-10-02
Lobo Delivers with this blast from the past collection. This double album CD of his earlier works, shows the many talents of Lobo. From his first album which features "Me and You and A Dog Named Boo" to his best selling album titled "Of A Simple Man" which yielded his biggest hit song to date "I'd Love You To Want Me". with other top 40 hits including "Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend" and "A Simple Man", Many titles in this package such as "A Big Red Kite" "There Ain't No Way" and Running Deer" could have been hits. This CD is just the ticket for a long and stressful day. All Lobo's albums are worth the investment. Wounded Bird Records did an excellent job of reproducing these albums. Thank you!

Editorial Review.......2006-11-06
"The shadowy, sunrise-laden cover of the flamenco guitar/gypsy violin duo's ninth disc reflects the playful spirit of the personalities behind one of world music's most original phenomenons of the last decade. There's always a lightheartedness in their songs, reflective of the Mexican surf region where their partnership began. Yet when it comes to blending traditional elements with modern percussive sensibilities, and showing the rhythmic possibilities of the violin, the tandem is not only serious, but innovative. Manana is one of their most diverse discs, inspired by the experiences they've had playing their gypsy joy for audiences all around the world. Thus, there's the lazy days on Mexican and Hawaiian beaches, seductive dances in the hills of Scaromonte, even an exquisitely exotic Arabian caravan (the mystical, almost experimental closing track 'Caravan of Camels'). John Leftwich's production adds some well-placed electronic percussion amidst the more natural soundscaping on tracks like the swaying title tune, and there are some cool electric guitar enhancements. 'El Desperado,' a song written in the 17th Century Mexican village of San Miguel de Allende (a place near and dear to the duo's heart), mixes a dusty, steel string enhanced Western atmosphere with a mix of electronica and sparse live percussion. Combining all that with a touch of the blues, 'La Bolita' is in this vein, but more exotic and romantic. Though this is one of their more intricately produced projects, the simple charming duality that defines Willie & Lobo's charm comes across on more organic tracks like 'Fuegando,' a powerful polyrhythmic showcase of what they can accomplish when stripped down. Manana couldn't have gotten here too soon. ~ Jonathan Widran, All Music Guide"
nice.......2003-09-18
interesting new album.
i really like this guys in concert, see them if they come to your town.
More quality music........2003-08-01
The duo are back and living up to the same quality as previous albums, if you want any instrumental albums with a latin flare to it then i would recommened anything by Willie and lobo manana lives up to the previous releases (even live and siete) and has a slight subtle change to it though i havent quite sussed out what it is yet. The instuments that these guys play always appear to be really tight and well managed which leaves an amazing sound with the plucky guitars and all over the place fiddle this albums bound to satisfy, right?
