 It's worth buying March 8, 2007
I bought this CD for the Slash piece that is included. I liked each and every piece in this CD, and the only reason it gets 4 stars rather than 5 is because all pieces are quite similar. There are no significant variations in the mood or sound between them, so it can get a tiny bit boring by the time you reach the end of it. Great for background music.
 Rare compilation of great music January 11, 2007
The disk is packed with great music, some of which is genuinely rare to find (such as Slash of Guns'n'Roses playing Obsession Confession), and others might serve as a good introduction to well-established artists (such as Jesse Cook, or Armik)
The disc's cover art is a masterpiece in its own right, and is a great introduction to the works of painter, dancer and a great man...
(find out who this man is when you get the disc in your hands!!!)
I believe the disc to be a limited edition thing - I don't think they continually produce it - so hurry up!

I needed "world" music for a class I am taking. My kids had been playing Slash's(Guns & Roses)Obsession Confession, so I figured at least for me, this would be a somewhat painless foray into the unknown.
This album is breathtaking. The music is passionate and emotional. I find it difficult to stop listening, and the more I listen the more involved I become. Each time I play this album I hear something different, and my favorites change regularly.
The artists are obviously masters. There is none of that squealing and screeching on the strings that one hears so often on guitar work.
I guess the best thing I can say is that each song takes you on a journey and the listener can write their own story.
If this is your first listen to this genre, Gypsy Soul is a perfect choice.
Great music, no matter what you call it! March 6, 2006

As I understand it, some purists would not call this Flamenco music of any kind, but it is wonderful and energizing to listen to nonetheless. The level of virtuosity on guitar displayed on this album is really incredible, and the delightful variety of songs is really nice. As a degreed musician and professional harpist, I have a tremendous respect for the level of musicianship demonstrated on this album. This is my first sampling of "New Flamenco" music, but it certainly will not be my last. A big plus for me is that it is all instrumental, so I'm not tempted to sing along, much to the relief of my fellow bus riders and coworkers!

I have other gypsy/flamenco CDs, and purchased this one based on some other reviewers comments (on the other CDs). I prefer the CD Gypsy Passion over this one by a wide margin.
