5.0 out of 5 stars Another great album for your collection!!, March 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Shake (Audio CD)

I love this album! Zucchero and Corado Rustici have done it again! The album is a beautifully produced and crafted piece of work. The ballads are lush and soulful, the up tempo numbers are hard and pumping with energy. The samples blend seamlessly with the tight live performances. A lot of time and thought has gone into this - every instrumental sound has been considered and shaped to work as part of the whole. As usual with all Zucchero's work, the songs melodies get under your skin. Play it out loud and let it wash over you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Blues don't care, May 4, 2002

Zucchero Fornaciari is a truely amazing rockstar, on this 2001 cd Zucchero teams, yet again, up with some of the biggest names in the world of rock and blues like Roy Rogers (a famous slide guitarist doing a great job on Porca L'Oca), Zachary Alford (who played drums with artists like Bruce Springsteen and David Bowie) and John Lee Hooker!

The cd starts of with Sento le Campane, together with Porca L'Oca one of the big rockers on this CD. The second track, Music in me, has a bit of a trance beat and gives Zucchero and vocalist Chance the chance to give it all they have. Porca L'Oca features Roy Rogers and reminds me of O.L.S.M.M. of the '95 Spirito DiVino album. Ali D'Oro is the beautiful duet with John Lee Hooker (recorded just weeks before his death), Ahum is a great duet with Chance that really shows how much Zucchero has been listening to Moby lately. Scintille is one of Zucchero's slower songs with both beautiful lyrics and music. The 2001 summer hit in Italy was Baila (sexy thing) a great song with catchy lyrics and music. One of the (many) highlights on this cd is Dindondio, beautiful music and Zucchero's great voice in top form. Zucchero finishes this cd of with Rossa mela della sera (great lyrics), Shake (another feel good song :-D) and Tobia (a touching ballad about Zucchero's dog... ehm....).

You should buy this cd NOW, and if you don't believe me, here's what the Billboard people said about it: "a stunning album with unfailingly excellent material"

5.0 out of 5 stars An Exquisite Compilation Of Music That Will Move You !, June 11, 2002

This is absolutely the best CD I have ever owned! I must have listened to it 100 times already! I fell in love with track 8, Dindondio, while my husband and I were in Italy last spring. It is such an incredibly beautiful and moving song, I just never get tired of it. There are also fantastic and melodic upbeat songs on this CD such as track 2, 3 and 10 mixed in with great blues-like tunes as well. I just can't say enough about this CD, it's a definate winner all the way around! Its a must have for anyone who likes Italian pop music or anyone who's just a fan of blues music. Zucchero's unique style makes for intoxicating music, I am certain you will love it! A great addition to anyone's collection.
