5 out of 5 stars He Performs With Gusto, Damn! You Bet.......2004-06-16

I remember being ten years old in 1989 and flipping through my sisters albums (Young Fresh Fellows, Sixty Four Funny Cars, NoMeansNo, NRBQ) and coming across this one. I put it on the turn table and have been in love with it ever since (I still own that original vinyl copy). Side A (you really need to listen to the CD as though it were an album) eases you into things with 'Malaguena de Jojo', then picks it up with 'Action Packed' before slowly dropping tempo until finishing with 'Closer'. Side B starts off with 'I Eat With Gusto, Damn! You Bet', an odd little poem. After 'Gusto' it makes a sudden change to the ballad-like 'Miracles Will Start to Happen' (one of my favorites), and then smoothly winds down the rest of the album before finishing with 'Cerca', or 'Closer' en Espanol. When you get right down to it this is an incredible album. The guitar on the instrumental tracks has an eerie haunting tone to it, and Jonathan's vocal stylings are similar to Lou Reed's, not spectacular but you never really notice. To summerize; buy this album. Play it for friends and family, or just for yourself, but buy it and really *listen* to it.
