Have always enjoyed J Vargas's work; though his previous releases have usually been wildly uneven in reference to song quality, I find this to be one of his more consistent efforts ( in addition to "Feedback"- my favorite cd.)

At turns taking the lead stylistically from Santana, SR Vaughan, Chicago blues, synthesized flamenco, and all out late 60's psychedelia, Mr. Vargas turns up the Fender Twin and sets his Strat for "stun". If anything, the man can pack quite the sizzle when he lets his distortion and wah-wah pedals do the talking for him. Doesn't hurt that he knows how to slow it down too-

Though the singing can be a bit over the top at times, if you are a fan of the aforementioned influences and like a Latino kick, you most likely will not be disappointed. And if this one turns you on, look for "Feedback" -that one is also well worth hunting down. ---A B, amazon.com
