Good cuts you mentioned Estebanana. I like those tracks a lot better than any of Niño Ricardo's solo recordings. He accompanies Caracol on an entire album that is hard to find although the bulería por soleá and the mirabrás are on the Orfeon anthology, if I remember right. Actually, any recording of Niño Ricardo accompanying will be loaded with excellent material. His earliest ones get a lot of attention as the singers are Pastora and Tomás Pavón, El Gloria, Vallejo and others, but I don't really like those as much because they sound "thin" to me. He recorded with many famous singers, sometimes ones you wouldn't expect, like Enrique Morente, Lebrijano (with Paco de Lucía!!!) and Curro Malena, but also with others that weren't as good or as famous, like Enrique El Culata (Pepe's brother). Every one of these recordings is worth having if you like his playing style. I mentioned in another post that one of his best accompaniment recordings is with Pepe Pinto. This one, along with the Mairena anthology and the Caracol album are the best, IMO, but the last two aren't easy to find. However, the Pepe Pinto recording is an incredibly good deal because it's easy to find, it's cheap, and the voice and guitar sound really clear and strong. At this URL, you can hear bits and pieces of each track and I think you can even buy the whole thing. At the very least, you can take note of the track titles, because it's been reissued on many different labels, so you should be able to find it somewhere, probably for just a few dollars. Classic "discount-bin" gem. http://www.emusic.com/album/Pepe-Pinto-Archivo-De-Flamenco-Vol-9-Pepe-Pinto-MP3-Download/11144685.html
