A Different kind of Folk Jul 28, 2008
Bought this after I heard cover on "House" episode and had to track down the artist. Couldn't find it around town so had to but it online. Interesting tracks, not something I usually buy but after listening to them they're nice folkish-rock. I really like the use of music and lyrics and I enjoy the more simple songs with just acoustics.
 neat!! Jun 11, 2008
okay..... if you like deep lyrics and low beat sound, this is for you. Just take your time and preview one on the songs.... then just run and buy it!
Cheers!

 A bargain basement José Feliciano minus cojones May 02, 2008
I have been a captive listener to this album for two weeks now, it has been played in my workplace, by someone else! I have had a good chance to listen to this album repeatedly.
I have to say that this album lack even the slightest trace of emotion, let alone passion. It really does sound like Mr. González is simply "going through the motions" on each song, as mechanically and as passionlessly as possible. His vocal timbre is vaguely reminiscent of the José Feliciano, but Mr. González lacks the finesse, fire, style and power of the great Feliciano.
The cover of Massive Attack's "Teardrop" is one of the album's low points. Elizabeth Frazer sang the song with no small degree of tension and élan. I can never understand a bloody word she sings, but she can and does move me with her interpretations. Mr. José González does not make the text of the song any clearly, but he does manage to make the song sound profoundly monotonous and exorcises any emotional content from it. Most of the rest of the album is delivered in the same dull, disinterested and depressingly listless way.
The instrumental accompaniment to the voice is provided by an acoustic guitar, which is played in a serviceable, but wholly unremarkable way. I am not sure what one is supposed to do with this album? The lyrics are hardly profound, the singing isn't "moving" in the slightest, it would make very jejune "chill-out" music, very prosaic and irritating "background" music, annoying café music, one couldn't dance to this album and it is hardly the stuff of teenage rebellion or rebellion of any sort! What did Mr. González hope to achieve with this album? Just sell as many units as possible? I guess that that can be an achievement of sorts.
I think that this is a first! A "Latino" album completely devoid of passion and fire, in fact, completely devoid of any emotional content whatsoever!

Defintley not star wars music! Apr 29, 2008
Folksy. Folks. Two words for you. Folks. See.
Imagine if Java the Hut was intertwined with Pamela Anderson. What would you have? A grainy soft tissuous porous filled meat sac mingled with beauty. Oh yeah, don't forget the classical guitar!
keep in mind that Joses' last name sounds a lot like gonzo from the muppet babies. Could there be a connection? Great stuff! but if your cruisin in the battlestar galactica do you really wanna listen to Jose'Gonzo?...I hope this review helps.
5 STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Three Good Songs Apr 07, 2008
I bought this CD after having heard some of the mp3s on MySpace, those songs are his best songs, and really, there was no need to buy his CD after all.
