Shorter's one of my heroes, but I'm guessing you already knew that from my Miles' obsession.Originally Posted by Tig

I need to also get Speak No Evil in my collection. I somehow missed Wayne Shorter's work in the past.
Regular Fretter
^^ I suspect you'll enjoy that one as well.
Wayne Shorter is a vastly overlooked song writer. Many of the great songs from that second 60s Miles quintet were Shorter's compositions. "Nefertiti," "Masqualero," and "Prince of Darkness" in particular are amongst my favorite recordings by that band.

Steve Earle - El Corazón
Regular Fretter
Easily one of my favorite Steve Earle albums. One that works well as a whole, or in its component parts. The artwork is also amongst my favorites of his (or anyone's) second only to the art for his Townes album.Steve Earle - El Corazón

I haven't listened to these albums in decades, back when my Dad used to play them. My loss, but I'll make up for it now.

I saw that it came out last week and listened to just the 30 second samples. They didn't reveal much so I can't count on them.Bought myself an Easter present.
NP:
Let us know how this album sounds once you get a few listens.

So far I'm enjoying it.
The production values are very good. Several of the arrangements are fuller, like some of the better songs on Harlem River Blues. I particularly like the way horns are employed on a couple of these tunes. His voice sounds great, but that's of little surprise as his is among my favorite singing voices.
Basically, if you've enjoyed his previous albums, you'll like this one as well. There are no surprises. JTE knows what he does well and he pretty much stays with it.
