"I liked Jose Manuel Figueroa's "Mala Hierba" CD so much, for which Joan wrote all the songs, that I bought this...well, better late than never, and it turns out that Jose is Joan's son !His voice is wonderful, it has a beautiful gentleness to it, and the songs are so melodic and uplifting. And the lyrics are sensational ! This is new music to my ears, and I'm not sure how to classify it. Some of it has a "border" sound, a dash of Country, and some gorgeous baladas. I'll just put it in the "I love it" category. It's a CD that gets better with each hearing, and you can listen to it repeatedly...it has an infectious joy, written and sung by a true artist.It includes 2 duets, one with Lisa Lopez, "Rumores", another with Prisma, "Oiga". My favorites are "Veinticinco Rosas", "Juliantla", "Amor Desesperado", "Alma de Niña"...but how can I leave out "No le Tengas Compasion" with its superb lyrics ! Impossible to choose...all 15 tracks are great. The jewel case doesn't have a booklet, but does have a good cover photo, and song list on the back.Reading Joan's biography on his official web site, his early hardships are heartbreaking, but a great inspiration for other struggling artists. Thank goodness he had the faith and fortitude to keep on keeping on...and to bring the world this marvelous music."
