Picking up on the brilliant idea of @[Martello], I allow myself to make a sort of "tribute" to a great artist like Pino Daniele, namely a ranking of his albums (stopping at Mascalzone Latino from 1989) from worst to best...
No. 6: "Terra Mia" (1977)
We are in the second half of the 1970s, and a then twenty-two-year-old Pino Daniele makes his debut with this album. An album that, to be honest, has very little to do with almost everything that will come after: it is his most "Neapolitan" record, still extremely tied to the popular tradition (influences that will already be partially lost with the next one), but highly inspired. It probably remains his least "original" album musically speaking, but at the same time, it is the most heartfelt and sincere. In some ways also "strange," like in the splendid title track, permeated with death and unease but also with hope, an aspect that makes it a unique album in his discography and beyond.
Overall rating 8.5
The masterpiece of the album: 'Na Tazzulella 'E Cafè (Remastered 2008)
