We have updated Johannes Linstead's page in our Artists' Hall of Gratitude to reflect his latest album, "Tales of a Gypsy", released today. Here is the beginning of that review:
"Johannes' latest album, entitled "Tales of a Gypsy", is an incredible addition to his many accomplishments. This album has already brought in rave reviews and will undoubtedly be another award winner for this exceptional artist. While this album is being referred to as his best yet, we find it difficult to compare with Johannes' other Latin guitar albums. Each one is unique. Each one has its own flavor and style. However, we can say that the musical orchestration in "Tales of a Gypsy" is much more complex than the other albums providing a rich and deeply stimulating soundscape. The album takes its listeners on a journey through the Caribbean islands. As one might imagine from the title, the melodies in this album take the listener through a number of experiences, some sensual, others happy and playful. Johannes' signature "Guitar of Fire" is present in this album, and is, as always, quite exhilarating! "Tales of a Gypsy" is a very upbeat and uplifting collection of melodies."
