Free Music Review: A bargain basement Jos? Feliciano minus cojones
Hit: 1 Stars
I have been a captive listener to this album for two weeks now, it has been played in my workplace, by someone else! I have had a good chance to listen to this album repeatedly.
I have to say that this album lack even the slightest trace of emotion, let alone passion. It really does sound like Mr. Gonz?lez is simply "going through the motions" on each song, as mechanically and as passionlessly as possible. His vocal timbre is vaguely reminiscent of the Jos? Feliciano, but Mr. Gonz?lez lacks the finesse, fire, style and power of the great Feliciano.
The cover of Massive Attack's "Teardrop" is one of the album's low points. Elizabeth Frazer sang the song with no small degree of tension and ?lan. I can never understand a bloody word she sings, but she can and does move me with her interpretations. Mr. Jos? Gonz?lez does not make the text of the song any clearly, but he does manage to make the song sound profoundly monotonous and exorcises any emotional content from it. Most of the rest of the album is delivered in the same dull, disinterested and depressingly listless way.
The instrumental accompaniment to the voice is provided by an acoustic guitar, which is played in a serviceable, but wholly unremarkable way. I am not sure what one is supposed to do with this album? The lyrics are hardly profound, the singing isn't "moving" in the slightest, it would make very jejune "chill-out" music, very prosaic and irritating "background" music, annoying caf? music, one couldn't dance to this album and it is hardly the stuff of teenage rebellion or rebellion of any sort! What did Mr. Gonz?lez hope to achieve with this album? Just sell as many units as possible? I guess that that can be an achievement of sorts.
I think that this is a first! A "Latino" album completely devoid of passion and fire, in fact, completely devoid of any emotional content whatsoever!
Free Music Review: Defintley not star wars music!
Hit: 4 Stars
Folksy. Folks. Two words for you. Folks. See.
Imagine if Java the Hut was intertwined with Pamela Anderson. What would you have? A grainy soft tissuous porous filled meat sac mingled with beauty. Oh yeah, don't forget the classical guitar!
keep in mind that Joses' last name sounds a lot like gonzo from the muppet babies. Could there be a connection? Great stuff! but if your cruisin in the battlestar galactica do you really wanna listen to Jose'Gonzo?...I hope this review helps.

Free Music Review: Three Good Songs
Hit: 3 Stars
I bought this CD after having heard some of the mp3s on MySpace, those songs are his best songs, and really, there was no need to buy his CD after all.Free Music Review: Latin Coffee Shop
Hit: 5 Stars
Even from the first beats of 'How Low' I am put into a pseudo-trance-like state. At the time of the album's release I was reading The Alchemist, which takes place in Spain and involves a trek into Egypt. Perhaps it is because the coinciding exposures that I attach a visual of arid climates and personal journey with this collection. Geez, I am beginning to sound like a Pitchfork reviewer.
Although the artist is mostly marketed based on his Swedish upbringing, he did receive ample exposure to Latin culture. It shows heavily in his finger-picking technique, and I feel like this album would be in the rotation at a trendy Argentinian coffee house.
I think this album has more rhythm than its predecessor, Veneer. What I mean by that is even from the get-go I find my heel slowly tapping to the tempo. The ambiance also seems to be slightly darker here as well.
As was previously stated, this 'In Our Nature' is not going to change your life. It is simply well-executed acoustic rhythms that can soothe you or dissolve behind you.
