It is not hard to make good recordings: all you need is a cantaor, a tocaor, 2 palmeros, some friends, a bottle of manzanilla and two microphones in a decent studio.
Sadly today, nobody wants to record en directo: Protools offers separate recording tracks, a claqueta, and perfect editing, you can even move imprecise palmas to their "correct" position. Then, on other tracks you can add coros, violin, percussion etc, etc. This is what people want.
The CDs I produced of Juan Silva and José Millàn were both recorded en directo: in the soleá of Juan, the guitarist recorded a compás of 6. When I pointed it out, he was mortified, but Juan had to record the whole soleá again  . With Protools, a little bit of editing and all is well.
But one way is music, the other way is not.

I also opted to do a live CD with my friend who is a singer...it just makes more sense for cante.
I am curious as to why he was so "mortified"....I have always wondered why the evolution of bulerias allows it but solea or buleria por solea don't....even after the old maestros did it on occasion (Ramon Montoya and Mojama for example). Why would a singer really care?

Thanks for the news
I bought a couple of his CD's - more for the playing of Rafael Rodriquez - not a lot of his playing recorded - seems to be either Palomar or Jose Anillo - preferring the latter for my listening
The addition of Jose Quevedo is a bonus
The earlier Palomar recordings had some great moments but the produced numbers left me a bit cold -
Be good to add a review as soon as someone buys it

Well, here's my partial review (for what it's worth).
Of the 13 tracks 6 are "flamenco" to my ear, the rest are either more coplas/canciones or are spoiled by coro, which I don't like.
David's voz facil is agreeable and he brings a certain freshness to the
soléa "A Ramón Jarana", the seguiriyas "Ceniza y fuego", and the minera "Mi Caí no tiene minas". The "Bulerias del Duende" are interesting, in as much as it is mostly a palo seco and the "Fandangos de Palomar" are quite pleasing. There's "De fiesta con Mariana" as an extra bonus, an unpublished track with Mariana Cornejo.
All in all, I enjoy listening to David's singing, although I do prefer slightly rougher, rajo voices and more quejío.
