Picking up the brilliant idea of @[Martello], I would like to pay a sort of "tribute" to a great artist like Pino Daniele, that is, a ranking of his album popularity (stopping at Mascalzone Latino from 1989) from worst to best...

N°7: "Mascalzone Latino" (1989)
We are at the end of the '80s, and after three decent albums that were overall quite unconvincing, the definitive - and unfortunately last - tail end finally arrives. The path of "80s" sounds continues, but this time with excellent work done on the acoustic guitar (his technique has grown in an inversely proportional manner to his creativity) and with several little gems that are absolutely on par with the Pino of the golden years, this time definitely more so than the previous three albums. Not a masterpiece, but certainly a great album, even if - alas - Pinuccio’s path was already marked, and even in this album, in some small passages, you can feel it...
Overall rating 7.5

The masterpiece of the album: Anna verrà (2017 Remaster)
