Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Return
With "Silvio", Silvio Rodriguez began his 90's trilogy ("Silvio", "Rodriguez", "Dominguez"). Probably, "Silvio" is the best, or at leas the most accesible, of the three. It marks an apparent change in relation to his previous albums. In "Silvio", Rodriguez return to his former basic form--only guitar. The songs are all beatiful. The album shows also how creative Silvio is form in demonstring social engagement. The entire album talks about the Cuban economic and social crisis after the defeat of socialism in East Europe and the desappearing of USSR. The just-melody "Crisis" shows the improductivity of the epoch. "El Necio" is a declaration of compromise in times of threat to the revolution. Probably the most beautiful engage song of the album is "Monologo". There are homage both to Edgard Alan Poe ("Trova de Edgardo") and el Che Guevara ("Hombre"). "Quien fuera" is a wonderful love song, a man shows his lover the wishes to be mockingbird, or Lennon and McCarney, or Violeta Parra, or Sindo Garay, or just her trovador. "La canción" declares the ambiguos estatus of the music between the bussines and the real human company.

Lenny Kravitz Greatest Hits CD  (2000)

Silvio
CD $9.99  3.2 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Personnel includes: Lenny Kravitz (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, sitar, bass, drums); Abraham Appleman, Elena Barere, Barry Finclair, Regis Iandiorio, Jean Ingraham, Paul Peabody, Joel Pitchon, Richard Sortomme, Dale Stuckenbruck (violin); Lamar Alsop, Julien Barber, Susan Pray (viola); Richard Locker, Eugene Moye, Mark Shuman, Fred Zlotkin (cello); Richard Sarpola (bass).
Engineers include: Henry Hirsch, Kevin Halpin.
"Again" won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance and was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rock Song.
Lenny Kravitz's greatest gift is that he's a master synthesist, pulling together different sounds and styles from eras past to create a sound that isn't necessarily blazingly original, but fresh due to his craft and sheer mastery of the studio. Since he was an unabashed classicist, his records often suffered the brunt of nasty criticism, but they were often very good, particularly early in his career before he indulged in the mannerisms of guitar-blasting stadium rock. Even if Circus and 5 were sunk by their own bloat, they still had good singles, as did those early albums, so the 2000 collection Greatest Hits is a terrific encapsulation of Kravitz at the peak of his talents. Certainly, there are some fan favorites missing, and the non-chronological sequencing is maddening (two of his three worst singles are within the first three songs), but it does boast the magnificent new single "Again," along with such seminal Kravitz moments as "Are You Gonna Go My Way," "Mr. Cabdriver," "Stand By My Woman," "Always on the Run," "Believe," "Let Love Rule," and "It Ain't Over Til It's Over," which is enough to make this a first-class greatest-hits compilation. After all, it doesn't just have all the main songs, it also illustrates that he indeed is a master synthesist. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
For the five albums prior to the release of GREATEST HITS, Kravitz doggedly mined the influence of late-1960s/early-'70

Silvio Rodriguez Mujeres CD  (1998) Remastered

Silvio
CD $15.15
Originally released in 1978, Silvio Rodríguez's Mujeres is often regarded as his masterpiece, representing a great artist at his very best. Instrumentally spare and transparent, the record is sonically crystal clear and shining. Rodríguez's guitar is bright and shimmering, and his voice has a bell-like open tone that would never sound quite as unencumbered and free again. The playlist includes some of his very finest material, including the light yet impassioned "Río" and heartbreaking "Y Nada Más." Recordings both before and after this album would have a significantly more produced, polished sound, with complex instrumentation and sophisticated studio work. The impression left by Mujeres is that of having heard Rodríguez give a private concert in his living room. The subtle intricacies of his guitar performance and emotional nuance of his lyrics are laid bare in the empty sonic space. Though some may prefer to hear Rodríguez in a more commercial context, Mujeres is a rare, listening room-style treat for those who would prefer a more intimate experience. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez Digitally remastered. Originally released in 1978.

Silvio
CD $17.09  4.3 stars
UNICORNIO is a 10-track digitally-remastered 1995 release by Latin artist Silvio Rodriguez, including "Por Quien Merece Amor" and "Cancion Urgente Para Nicaragua."
Silvio Rodriguez, often called the heart and mind of the Nueva Trova movement, has long been a leading social and political commentator for the Cuban people. Long before his 1981 release Unicornio, Rodriguez had been writing songs inspired by his country's Socialist Revolution in 1959. It was not until this release, however, that his artistry came to international notice. Nueva Trova (New Cuban Song) put the island on the map as not only a jazz/Afro-Caribbean hot spot, but as an environment that encouraged great intellect and poetry in its music. Rodriguez appropriately became the genre's most visible figure, performing all over the America's and encouraging similar musical trends to flourish in his wake (Nueva Cancion in Argentina). Unicornio is not only a gem of lyricism and socialist sentiment, but also a musical triumph. Featuring styles such as chacarera, Cuban fusion, North American folk music and the roots of Latin pop, Rodriguez puts a sweet coating on his political pill. Even bitter commentary goes down easy, thanks to Rodriguez' intelligent melodic sense and pleasant voice. Like the Beatles White Album and Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life, Silvio Rodriguez' Unicornio is a record that not only helped define an artist, but an entire genre. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez Digitally remastered of the 1995 album from the Cuban singer/songwriter whose tender balladry offshoots his hard-edged, politically-slanted lyrics. A spearhead of the nueva trova (New Ballad) style of nueva cancion (New Song), Rodriguez masterfully blends romantic tunes with protest material condemning colonization and the tyranny that swept through Latin America in the late '60s and early '70s.

Silvio
CD $18.39  4 stars
Digitally remastered. Originally released in 1994. This album is dedicated to his father Dagoberto Rodriguez. Here's 11 tracks from Argentine musician Silvio Rodriguez, dedicated to his father; 1994.
When Ry Cooder went to Cuba in 1996 in search of the "deeply funky" rhythms the island had been famous for at mid-century -- danzón, bolero, rhumba, son -- the resulting album, The Buena Vista Social Club, made Grammy-winning, arena-packing superstars of its octogenarian musicians, and cleared the way to international airplay and success for dozens of others. And so it came to pass that northern Europeans flocked to salsa classes, that bartenders in the Midwest began serving up mojitos, that Celia Cruz received a queen's burial; yet the international reputation of the unassuming man who is arguably the island's most influential living recording artist failed to profit much at all from these high years of Cubanismo.
Silvio Rodriguez plays the guitar and sings with the voice of one of its own high strings, pulled perhaps a little tight. Melancholy, sardonic, tender or bemused, his is an organic music, starting with a spare, oddly syncopated bassline, gaining chords and momentum with each go-round. It's a ballad that arrives half-remembered from a bustling coffee house, hemmed in by a crowd of would-be poets, intellectuals, and revolutionaries. You sing along before you even know the words. Rodriguez is a trovador, a folk singer/balladeer. Much has been made of the Nueva Trova movement's leftist political agenda, yet the songs on this acoustic self-titled release are for the most part lullabies and gentle love songs, full of barnacles and constellations and vast Whitmanesque "Song of Myself" lyrical gestures. Recorded between 1992 and 1994 in Havana and dedicated to Rodriguez's father, who died during this time, it is the artist's most personal and accessible effort, his Ars Poetica.
Rodriguez's great talent as a lyricist may be one of the reasons that so few peo

Exploring The Axis
Thin White Rope Exploring The Axis CD  (1985)

Silvio
CD $9.25  5 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
Thin White Rope: Stephen Tesluk (vocals, guitar, bass); Guy Kyser, Roger Kunkel (vocals, guitar); Jozef Becker (drums).
2LPs on 1 CD: EXPLORING THE AXIS/BOTTOM FEEDERS.
Hailing from the northern California town of Davis, Thin White Rope was initially pegged as a proponent of the paisley underground movement. Such labeling, however, tells half the story at best. The list of bands the group went on to cover over the course of their ten-year career is actually more revealing. Songs by Suicide, the Stooges, Lee Hazlewood, Marty Robbins, Bob Dylan, Can, and a James Bond theme have all been rendered by the band in the studio and on-stage. That list goes a long way in explaining the mixture of raw, angular riffs, southern twang, and icy psychedelia that characterizes Exploring the Axis, the group's 1985 debut. What it does not convey, perhaps, is the relative bleakness of Thin White Rope's music. Frontman Guy Kyser, guitarist Roger Kunkel, bassist Stephen Tesluk, and drummer Jozef Becker outline a series of barren landscapes, their instruments kicking up clouds of dust from the parched earth like a rollicking, rickety ghost-train headed south. At times Jeff Eyrich's productions approach the wintry heir of Martin Hannett's work with Joy Division. This climate is ideal for Kyser, who delivers tales of isolation, allusion, and death; his voice a perpetually unsteady quake. Unfortunately, he hadn't yet learned how to pace himself, continually reaching for the drama inherent in the songs at the expense of lyrical nuances. Though subsequent releases would see a maturing of the band's sound, Exploring the Axis would remain the blueprint. ~ Nathan Bush
