Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Sexy jazzy cool music.......2007-03-12

I bought this CD because of an intriguing review in The New Yorker, especially the part that described Caetano's version of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." This would be a great CD to listen to in a hot tub with a glass of single malt and an appreciative companion.

5 out of 5 stars Stunning sentimentality.......2003-10-02

This album is an half hour of aesthetical delight for the english spoken listeners, and an half hour of sensations for all senses for the portuguese spoken ones. Caetano`s voice is like the child of a violin and a bratch, trembling on feathers like insignificant pieces of dust. The track Homen Velho tells a fragile little story about an aged man sensing life in a sort of review - how Caetano tells the story is neat and overwhelmingly sensitive - showing all the way, not telling. Other stunning tracks are Terra, Coracao Vagabondo and Eu sei que vou te amar. Learn portuguese just to listen to this one - if you can, you`ll explore a whole new way of language! Texts are in english in the booklet, so stay put with your senses and your brains! This is the best of Brasil!

4 out of 5 stars Much better than Michael.......2000-05-13

Pick up this CD if for nothing else but for Billie Jean (Track 6). I've never cared for, or thought anything for, this song as done (and I think written by) Michael Jackson. You gotta hear Mr. Veloso's interpretation...slowed down to much less than the original tempo...unbelivebly beautiful, romantic, seductive....It actually is an INCREDIBLY beautiful song when done at this tempo, and, of course, a brazilian accent helps. Veloso is always good (assuming you like him and/or this genre), but this interpretation IS A KILLER! It's worth the entire CD (even if it was blank; and it's not; and it's good). Listen to this version and spread it around to your friends...and especially lovers...or people you want to be your lovers (i.e., hey guys, if she got a decent SAT score, she'll melt w/this). If you don't hear this version, you're truly missing something wonderful. Enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars Intimate and beautiful.......2000-03-30

I once walked into a record store in New York City and a lady asked me if I knew about one of Veloso's recordings in which she could just listen to his charming, melancolic voice. It was easy for me to pick one since I've been listening to his music for many years.

I wish I would have known about this CD back then. His voice, his fabulous sence on rhythm and some of his best songs are captured in this intimate recording (just him and his guitar).

It is a good one to get, no matter how much or how little you know about this Brazilian superstar.

5 out of 5 stars Sublime.......1999-06-15

Caetano Veloso is a virtuoso composer, poet, and musician. His voice is capable of conveying the most sublime and intricate of emotions. Across CDs he displays a wide range of musical styles and moods, each with its own unique rewards. The mood here is mellow, with particularly gorgeous vocals. This is one CD for the "desert island" collection.
