PDL Anthology

Here is my own anthology or "best of" paco. Or it could be Volume 3 to go with the other 2, so I won't repeat what they had. This is in order by date. Rondena (r. montoya) (EP 1964) Aires Andaluces (EP 1964) Jerez en Fiestas (w/ R. Modrego 1965) Recuerdo a Patino Impetu (Anything from Fantasia Flamenca) Plazuela (guitar sextet) Recuerdos (farruca with Pepe and dancer Raul) Doblan Companas Cuando Canta el Gallo Punta del Faro Aires Choqueros Los Pinares Cueva del Gato Plaza Alta Mediterranean Sundance (from dimeola's elegant gypsy) Montino Chanela Pinonate Aspan (w/Mclaughlin/Dimeola) La Canyada El Panyuelo Soniquete Almonte Sevillanas(duet with Manolo Sanlucar) Tracks from live in America, Luzia, and Cositas Buenas were not in the original anthology, so here are my picks: Mi nino curro La Barrosa (anything else from the live one, I like em all) Rio de Miel Calle Municion El chorruelo Camaron Patio Custodio Antonia El Dengue It is hard for me to make a "best of" as if I can easily leave off some pieces from each album, because even the pieces that I don't listen to often, I recognize as definative versions of style for that time period. For example, the different siguiriyas he has on his first album, Duende, and Luzia. Or the Tientos on the same albums, plus the one on Cositas. You can trace musical evolution through pieces like those, even if they don't "grab" you entertainment wise. You can't do that with Sabicas or Ricardo's music, nor with guys like Vicente Amigo or Gerardo. The albums of Paco I like complete are Fantasia Flamenca, Almoraima, Siroco, Live in America, every note. Ricardo

Mentidero might be a place in Spain, a lot of his titles have to do with places in Andalucia. It does not have any meaning related to "mentira". Ask on the Paco forum, I am sure they know what it is exactly. La Barrosa for example, is a beach near Algeciras. Or maybe I am a "mentiroso" Phrygus, yeah I meantioned the bulerias from dos guitarras en stereo with Modrego. Great stuff on that one, but the other duet albums are little bit more about fullfilling the contract with the record company. Lot's of little ideas taken and pieced together to make duets with that one album with Ramon, not bad. But you could also make a whole separate Anthology of tid bits and falsetas from his albums like that or accompanying all the different singers. As far as the other albums, playing the "hits" means, you are done with doing the artistic stuff, and just trying to boost record sales. The latin american stuff ranks up there with his collaborations with Placido, Iglesias, Bryan Adams. A bit "cheesy" for me. The albums I chose nothing for the anthology, but still enjoy, are the classical stuff (Falla, Rodrigo), Castro Marin (reworking of Solo Quiero Caminar material), the other three live albums, Teatro Real, FNISF with Al and John, and Live One Summer night. Also I love some of the cuts on Guitar Trio (96), especially where he trades with Mclaughlin (Letter from India, Midsmmer night). Again, there could be a whole other anthology of his more successful fusions and classical guitar projects. For example, they use movement I of rodrigo in the Anthology, no doubt for time restrictions. But we all know it is really the movement II that is so special, but LONG. Ricardo
