Have been listening to this artist since Art of Tea was released, (70's), ooppss telling my age. I never tire of hearing Micheal, he's gotten me through breakups, new beginnings and lifes other ups and downs. Michael is Phenominal. One complaint, has he said all he has to say??? Eagerly awaited his last release "Rendevous in Rio", Totally underwhelmed, just sounded like more of the same, and not as good at that. The best tune on the CD is the Jobim remake. I am among Michaels most loyal fans, have even traveled to see him live. Truly hope that his next release is a little more fresh and energetic. Abandoned Garden was awesome, but then again he was truly inspired by the Master, A.C. Jobim... Anybody else have input on this topic???Would love to hear from you....Peace, Rodney~
