RichardD.May 1, 2002Album is worth it just for the tracks featuring Raul Malo. It is an absolute delight.

SunilRS.Jul 13, 2007The Veloso and Baca tracks are sizzling and evoke their solo efforts. Calle 16, Compay Gato, and Teresa are great Latin numbers, and the Mexican flavot of El Pescador and Maiz is right on. Better than the debut album, which is close to unbelievable but yes they achieved it.
