Great even if you don't speak italiano

"Full Disclosure: The bits of the Italian language I can understand are those I picked up from my Grandma screaming at me when I was a kid.Still, I love this album. It's pure and joyful pop and the language barrier doesn't really matter. I saw Alex Britti perform on New Year's Eve 98 at the Forum in Rome. The crowd went crazy for him and after I heard the song that is track 2 on this album "Solo Una Volta" I knew I'd be buying the album the next day. I did and I don't regret it. Alex performed with just acoustic guitar when I saw him, but the arrangements are nicely fleshed out here. There are at least 5 songs on this album that you will end up singing along with even though you don't know what you are saying. Give it a shot. In a lot of ways he's stylistically close to Jovanotti (see the Soprano's soundtrack vol 2).Correction: The song the other guy who reviewed this is talking about "una su un milione" is not on this album. It is on La Vasca. Buy that too."
