"I am in complete agreement with the two other reviews. Very simply, this is a kickin' (please pardon me) flamenco album, full of the traditional vein of influence from Ramon Montoya and Sabicas. It is absolutely riveting and powerful. This shows how accomplished a fine flamenco artist he was, and how talented a musician he still is today.
But, honestly, I would not really bother with his later cds if you love flamenco puro, as they begin to tread too much into soft jazz/latin flavors, and don't really do justice to the flamenco genre. Relish and listen to the early cds."

Feed your soul, listen to Fuente y Caudal!

"A Spanish friend introduced me to "Entre dos aguas" and it quickly became one of my favorite songs. I rarely purchase cds, but the beauty of "Entre dos aguas" alone was enough to inspire me to buy Fuente y Caudal. Now, several months later, Fuente y Caudal is one of my favorite albums and I just saw Paco de Lucia in concert (amazing!).



Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with this album. You don't have to be a flamenco aficionado (I wasn't) to appreciate it, you just have to enjoy good music. I've passed this cd on to many friends; after hearing me play it, they wanted to have it for themselves. Fuente y Caudal covers an amazing spectrum of emotions. Its songs are joyous, moody, exhilarating, heartbreaking, often at the same time. If you're new to flamenco and Paco de Lucia, I think Fuente y Caudal is a great place to start. If you're already a Paco fan and don't have this album, all I can say is, "WHY NOT?!""

Magical.

"This is one of the few CDs that totally blew me away when i first time i heard it! This is early Paco de Lucia and you can feel the raw energy he generates, probably one of the best guitar ever recorded. This is the definition of the term "Original Music".
Its a shame that not many people know about this CD, even they know Paco de Lucia and also have heard the songs in here in some other Greatest Hits kind of compilation. But, This is a piece of beauty, a work of art. You don't own it, you possess it!"
