Beautiful

"I must admit that I fell upon this cd by complete chance or shall I say luck. Into a small cd shop in Pasadena I walked. There was the most beautiful brunette in the back of the shop. She had long hair pulled up off her shoulders. She was listening to a music station that was labeled World Beat. So entranced by her beauty was I that I picked up the headphones beside her to a music station labeled Flamenco. I hit play not realizing what I would be listening to. This cd came up! As the first song started to play, I still was captured by this beautiful woman, hoping that she would glance in my direction. Before I realized it, I was drifting to the chords of a guitar coming from the headphones. I momentarily forgot about the woman who, by chance, led me to listen to this cd, and concentrated on the music itself. I looked at the disc number that was playing and then found the cd on the wall in front of me. I picked it up to look at it and discovered that the brunette now had her boyfriend next to her. So I owe her a debt of graditude for showing me, inadvertently, this cd. It truely was a wonderful find, in many ways. Each song has a great sound to it. This is a very romantic cd that I wish I could have shared with the beautiful brunette. And so I dedicate track number 8 to her: La Noche Y Su Amante (The Night And Her Lover). To the beautiful brunette, where ever you may be! This cd will always hold a special memory of you for me."

"This is such a truly fabulous cd. I was introduced to Chris Burton by being fortunate enough to walk into a tapas restaurant one night seeing him play live. Listening to his music and watching the flamenco dancers that accompianed him, I was awe struck. Enjoying it so much, my husband and I went back the following week to watch and hear them one again. This time I was lucky enough to meet Chris and purchase both of his cd's. They are both masterpieces, but I have to say, track 1 from this cd is truly my favorite of all.Please, do yourself a favor...buy this cd. You will not regret it!Ole'!"

"Does the words "absolutely amazing" even come close? ...I THINK NOT! When it comes to music, this CD is in my "must have" category. Chris creates an explosion as he and his talent flows through my speakers and fills the room with an array of unbelievable sound. If you listen hard enough, you can actually feel the room come alive as his music plays. This collection of Jacome's work proves his overwhelming diversified talent and emotional love for his work. You must get this CD!"
