Album Review: Lagrimas Mexicanas by Bill Frisell / Vinicius Cantuaria

Lagrimas MexicanasThe opening track "Mi Declaracion" sets the tone for this album that these two jazz musicians never relinquish.  It's a slow brooding song fronted by Cantuaria's smooth voice and expressive acoustic guitar, and backed by Frisell's quiet experimental electric guitar.  Frisell does a brilliant job of layering in his sound to back Cantuaria.

This album would be good for mood music to a Latin inspired dinner you cook for that girl who use to be your best friend. 

Following the Rhapsody rating method I give it 3 out of 5 stars for Pretty Good.
