2.0 out of 5 stars Not Absolutely the Best, February 8, 2006

This review is from: Absolutely the Best (Audio CD)

I purchased "Absolutely the Best" for my two favorite songs: Light My Fire and Feliz Navidad. I was very disapointed that Feliz Navidad is not the original song, but a "live" recording. Had that been disclosed, I would not have purchased the cd.

4.0 out of 5 stars However is Jose, October 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Absolutely the Best (Audio CD)

How is write on the precise review of Mr. George O'Leary, this compilation can't be considerated the real best of the great Jose Feliciano: but not because not contains many his hits but because ALL the songs included in this compilation are re-recorded by Jose in 1996 in his personal studio with his tour band, and anyway are differents by the originals, more modern in sounds but with less orchestrals arrangement (brass, strings, flutes etc) and not so typical 60s how before, (those originals are now perfects for the recents chillout lounge hit compilations)
Anyway in these recents Jose is ever great, his voice in some ways is better and his guitar ever the same: incredible. Songs must have.
About "Rolling Stone and maligned artist", is true, is hard to believe but so many Magazines and reviewers not have ever all loved Jose, probably many of these was too "linked" by originals versions and bands (and perhaps... labels...) of the covers redoin by Jose for understand the incredible and unique work then there was behind any song , hard to find other musicians capable to rewrite completly a song like Jose in all world. Perhaps for fault of these magazines and writers (and surely managers and record companies) the world has missed in years true and rare talents like Jose Feliciano.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jose is still a star., September 11, 2007

This review is from: Absolutely the Best (Audio CD)

I am a fan from his debut those days.

When he gave a concert in Nagoya, Japan, I enjoyed this.

"Light My Fire"," Rain ","Hi-Heel Sneakers "is really good music, and arrangement of all songs changes with this album a little before.

But I feel some difficult points about "Feliz Navidad ".

Vikki Carr sings this music in her album, too.

And her song is my preference more.

His voice is still delicate, and it seems to be crystal.

This CD is the best album of the present age of Jose.
