LA RECENSIONE
Luis Torres, or the most underrated singer-songwriter in the history of music. A Genius. A man who managed to combine Bob Dylan's Folk, Chuck Berry's Rock, James Brown's Groove, and the fun of Puzzle Bubble in a single album. A man who understood how an album should be made, and when it should be made.
Sad and despondent about his past, but joyful and content in his present. Happy, but with awareness. Few guitar chords, a few drums beaten with class, a clarinet, and a sax are more than enough for his 80 Bpm Blues Ballads, later copied by just about everyone, which however had the fortune that poor Luis did not have. Because the world has been unfair to Luis since his childhood spent in the Bronx, but now that he has found God, he is happy, he is content, and he is enjoying the present. Don't leave him neglected, don't make the same mistake the audience did during his release; find this album at any cost, and when you find it, maybe pass it on to me too.
