Vintage Al Caiola
I have been an unabashed fan of Al Caiola since I was sixteen years old in 1968. I have most of his albums and listen to at least one of them every week. This is an excellent collection of his music - 40 tracks is something of a bonus. I do think however that this is not as good an album as "Bonanza! 1960-1969" but this is from a quality control perspective. The last track on disc 2 is "Two Guitars" and at the end of the track when you expect to hear silence you hear a loud sustained hiss. Now I am not sure if this is typical of all sets of this album or if I was the only lucky one. Regardless of that the music itself is magic and the Al Caiola signature pieces are just beautiful. If you would like to have some of this man's music in your collection you could do a lot worse than buy this album.
