Free Music Notes for Durango Kid, Vol. 2

Free Music Review: A Compilation sequence to "Durango Kid"
Hit: 5 Stars

Three qualities distinguish Horta's work:
1 - He is a great guitarrist and he plays within a conception of a big orchestra. His guitar playing seems to float wonderfully upon a sea of strings. Wonderful and unique playing! Pay special attention to his composition "Dona Olimpia" and "Broken English".
2 - He is a sophisticated composer of intricate songs and a great melodist. "My Neighbor Blue Canary" and "The Coast" are among his inspired compositions in this CD. Though sophisticated, his songs are beautifully melodious to new entrants.
3 - His guitar playing is a parameter for guitar instrumentalists in Brazil, notably those who are in their advanced playing.

Just like Tom Jobim, sometimes, Mr. Horta decides to sing on a few tracks of his albums and his singing is not so good though the songs and lyrics are always highly inspirated. I wouldn't mind about his bad singing.

For those who love sophisticated Brazilian music or Bossa Nova in the Tom Jobim tradition or those who simply love good music.
