Free Music Notes for Little WingFree Music Review: Classical guitar with a blues twist Hit: 5 StarsIf you love the blues or rock and you love classical guitar, you cherish this gem. I only recently discoverd Ottmar Liebert with this album - I will be buying more of his work soon.
Free Music Review: I enjoyed it but he has done better Hit: 3 StarsI picked this up in my flamenco stage two years ago and never got around to listening to it. Saw ottmar live for the 1st time several weeks ago and wanted to go back and listen to all his stuff I own.I have read the other reviews and they seems to be fair. My take, he puts a flamenco twist on some notable tunes which are interesting. Ultimately, I got tired of listening to it and moved on. Some of it just sounded so much of the same.
Free Music Review: An album to have! Hit: 5 StarsThis is one of the best Ottmar Liebert's works, in my opinion. After The Hours Between the Night and Day, Little Wing is the album to give to someone you would like to 'innitiate' in Ottmar Liebert and Luna Negra's musical experience. Friends who have never heard of him and listened to this album, loved it since the very first time.Enjoy it!
Free Music Review: Good work on the covers... Hit: 4 StarsYes, I was definitely more impressed by the four covers than on the eleven originals. Hendrix' "Little Wing" definitely is the best, certainly not a copy of Hendrix, but a very individual perspective. And only the top players can take a familiar standard like "The Girl From Ipanema", and give it such a new dress as Liebert does. And he scarcely does less for Rollin' Stones' "Paint It Black", or Led Zeppelin's "Xanadu". I don't want to ignore the other 11 cuts, that which represents the older work we're familiar with. However, these cuts don't seem to sparkle like his older work. Hopefully, this is just a minor lapse, because I have come to think of the artist as a reliable standby among new age artists. This is still a good enough album for fans and for those not yet introduced to Liebert's music.
Free Music Review: Ottmar is just great! Hit: 4 StarsJust when I thought he was in a Nuevo Flamenco rut he surprises me with some guitar playing that is very nice. I am learning how to play classical guitar, and just love to listen to someone like Ottmar who is so flawless. I especially like the rock covers, since I grew up listening to all of them too. But he throws in more "Ottmar type" stuff, to make this a well balanced album. A friend of mine tells me that sometimes he just shows up, playing in coffee shops in Santa Fe, where he lives, so if you're in the area you might see him.
