ellyssianPassion, Grace, & Fire by John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola, and Paco De Lucia
Just so I don't discriminate against those who really don't like flamenco singing and would really like to hear great guitar playing...
John takes the center channel with a Yamaha classical flamenco-type guitar, gut-strung. Al is on the left channel with an Ovation 6-string acoustic guitar with steel strings. Paco is on the right channel with a Spanish flamenco guitar, gut-strung.
The title actually does an excellent job as a thorough review. This might not be for easy listening or background music - there's a bit too much 6 string pyrotechnics for that. It should, however, be in every guitarists collection.
Beautiful, intricate guitar work.
