Senor Bolero

Amazon.com
Soulful singer and brilliant guitarist José Feliciano tackles the Latin classics--the timeless boleros that have produced so much haunting intrigue on the subject of romantic love, lost and rediscovered. From the lush opening ballad "Alma Mia" to the R&B-ish closer "Si Me Comprenderias," the CD hums with drama, tension, and revelation. We may be familiar with these evergreens, but Feliciano applies a new gloss and understanding to each. Not every tune connects, but the finest pieces more than compensate for any weaknesses. Highlights include the confessional "Cuando Te Toque Llorar," the exquisite "Rayito de Luna," and the anguished "Que Tristeza." Credit must be given to Feliciano's production team, which includes producer Rudy Perez and arrangers José Molina and Gary Lindsey. --Ramiro Burr

One of a kind.......2007-01-06

I have never been a huge fan of Jose Feliciano but this product is of a quality that you will bargain and win. The song, the melody, the interpreter Jose wow! one of a kind. Senor Bolero will invite you to listen to the first song and you won't stop until you have delited yourself with the whole product, then you will listen to it over and over again.

Good, but not his Best!.......2003-11-05

It was certainly different, but all the hype by Universal did not justify the actual product. Just when I was about to give up on ever buying another Feliciano album (like there are not enough out there), I came across the DVD/CD Jose Feliciano, Ayer, Hoy y Siempre. I am once again a Feliciano fan. The CD is great, many of the songs I have never heard before, and they really give you your monies worth with the DVD, they threw everything in there except the kitchen sink! Live concert, with great DVD authoring, plus Celia Cruz, and a Santana Duet on the CD as an added bonus. Buy it!

Soulful and Romantic with Lush Arrangements.......2003-10-02

Jose Feliciano and the Bolero have been linked together since the 1960's. Feliciano's first major blush with success came when he first recorded in this popular style and after one of his first releases titled "La Copa Rota" the name of Feliciano and the Bolero became synonymous to music lovers of the genere. In this album Jose's soulful,silky voice has matured quite a bit and he sounds fantastic. The selection of songs are all beautifully arranged and recorded. Overall this is a great album I enjoyed the songs and Jose's as always is very passionate about what he sings. You can also hear his great guitar playing although to a lesser extend on this reocrding. Other instruments fill out most of the songs and Feliciano's guitar is mostly on the background. That is the only thing I regret about this album is that you don't hear his brilliant playing as you do in his other albums, however nevertheless it's still a wonderful collection of boleros masterfully performed by the one and only, the GREAT Jose Feliciano.

A Different Feliciano.......2001-08-06

An extraordinary album. Compared with the traditional mainstream pop recordings for which most of us know him ('Light My Fire', etc.), this album is a revelation. His lush expression, smoky vocals, and the romantic beauty of the songs he has chosen, make this recording a constant fixture in my CD menu. Best song on the album? 'Como Fue' -- a beautiful lament for love lost. You can hear the tears in his voice. And most of the songs evoke a romanticism and gentle beat not readily found in current Latin music, today's jazz mixed with a flavor that might have been found echoing from the guitars of rancheros 200 years ago. Don't miss this one.

Sr. Bolero.......2001-06-30

Too slick, too smooth, none of the passion of "Light My Fire." The background violins get in the way. As luck would have it, I have a recording of "Como Fue" by the great Beny More. Jose sounds like an amateur by comparison. In fact, Jose does not sound as good as Ibrahim Ferrer, who came out with his own version of "Como Fue" a couple of years ago. Jose's voice and guitar playing sound as good as ever. The album notes provide the lyrics and translations. A good album for watching the moon with someone you love. 51 minutes total playing time.

I can't stop listening.......2004-09-24

Feliciano has outdone himself on this album. Every song is a gem. While many of them are about lost love, "Eres para mi" is an anthem to love. I have listened to this over and over for the past two years since its release and each time I discover a new lyric and love it even more.
This CD is a must-have for fans of the bolero genre of music. Jose's interpretation is purely and uniquely his own. It is, without a doubt, my favorite CD in my large Latin music collection.

JOSE FELICANO TIENE LA ALMA DE UN SANTO.......2003-10-12

a side of Jose..........2003-06-03

For who find a latin-romantic CD I must say this is a five-star hit. Jose voice and arrangements sounds greats like no much artists can do in this field. But for who is a long time fan of an international and unique world artist like Jose Felciiano, some sides of creativity, music and many type of styles, some guitar solos, instrumentals and his incredible side of personal soul personality of pasts internationals albums like Fireworks ('70), Sweet Soul Music ('76), Memphis Menu ('72), And The Feelings Good('74) Felciiano 10 to 23 ('69) or Romance In The Night ('83), is a little bit miss for give more space to a more conventional romance latin pop music. Hoping he can make again those gems, this is anyway a nice Cd.
