SMILIN' CASTLE
DEL CASTILLO/Infinitas Rapsodias: Sometimes you just can't improve upon the bio that comes with the record and the one that came with this says this band sounds like Eddie Van Halen fronting early Santana with an assist from Gipsy Kings. Well, Mark, thanks for doing my job for me. This bunch has been a valiant bunch of road warriors over the last decade but unless you are deep in the Austin scene or read the music credits at the end of the movies, you might not be familiar with them, at least by name. Having opened for everyone and being faves of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, they've taken their rock/Latin/blues/flamenco/world fusion to the greatest heights you can scale while still being somewhat under the radar. This set mixes new tunes with reworkings of past concert faves and gives you a galloping mutha of a non stop jam. This is the must gift item for your friends that love music but shun Top 40. Killer stuff the open eared will love without further explanation. This set also comes with a DVD of some hot performance work as well. Check it out.
