Joe Iadanza - Traveling Salesman (88) This album reminds me of both The Gypsy Kings and Madeline Peyreux in different ways! Even though this (male) singer songwriter is a native New Yorker there is a distinct European jazz feel to his sound. This is a set of mainly acoustic songs, that has a certain je ne sais quoi! All right - they are very French sounding. From the brushes intro of the title opening track, it is a set of songs that seem from a bygone time. The whole package is conveying a certain feel, from the monochrome photos on the C.D. cover to the arrangements themselves. Great finger picking guitar throughout, it is an atmospheric album that deserves repeated playing. www.joeiadanza.com Steve O. Next
