"New renditions of six classic Mirabal tunes make this a greatest hits album... but also the six new tunes are some of the strongest in his catalogue. Great songwriting and impecable production mixing Native Roots, Rock and Americana. This one will be up for a Grammy!"

Mirabal in MY BLOOD

"Once the Mirabal has gotten into your blood, his evolution just whirlwinds higher and higher. Just went through and listened to the samples, like i needed to, and heard his soul shine through, as i expected. An artist to be in awe of, followed, and taught by.
Once again Robert, my heart thanks you."
In the Blood, indeed!

"Robert Mirabal is an artist of amazing scope and talent. I love all of his albums, but "In the Blood", "Music from a Painted Cave" and "Mirabal" are three of my favorites. His Christmas album is wonderful also."
