Enjoy with tequila
F. Russo | At the beach, USA | 05/15/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This veteran master sets an undeniable groove with every style he plays. I first got hooked on the ballad, I Will Be Standing. Then the rest of the tunes just got absorbed through my pores like west Texas dust. Definitely enjoy with your favorite tequila.

A Musical Masterpiece for the 21st Century

"This album is incredible! I cannot remember the last time that after listening to a cd I immediately played it straight through again... and again.



Platania, as some of you may know, has been the right hand man for two of the most well-respected musicians of the last thirty years, Van Morrison and Chip Taylor, and I am sure that some of his talent was derived from his association with these men. However, I think it may also be said that these two legendary songwriters got as much from John as he did from them. In fact, Van Morrison credits Platania as the co-writer of several of his songs.



This album is exeptionally strong all the way through, and can be thought of as a symphonic composition with a series of movements, much like Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, a master work of musical genius to which it can easily be compared. The only fault I can find with the album is I think the second and third tracks should be the last two songs on it, and that is exactly how I have arranged it on my IPod.



Platania still has his golden gift to work magic with the guitar. Blues, Waltzes & Badland Borders will stand the test of time as a 21st century classic."
