I just picked up this album at Barnes and Noble, so this is just my immediate, gutjerk reaction:

…

Holy crap, this is good! I mean really, really good. It’s probably great (but I need a few more listens before I can classify it as great).

I really think the **Gipsy Kings** have outdone themselves this time.

Anybody else pick it up? Thoughts? Rants? Raves?

I haven’t listened to this album, but I love the Gipsy Kings and have for years. The only album I do have is one of their Greatest Hits and I think it’s fantastic.

I’ll have to check out Roots.

Thanks 🙂
