"My wife and I recently saw Johannes in concert and purchased Kiss The Earth after the show. The show was spectacular, with percussion, Flamenco and Latin dancing, and of course, Johannes' fiery guitar playing. We were pleased that that same energy and passion was present on the album as well."

GOOD - BUT NOT HIS BEST

"I would probably rate this CD much higher if I did not own his debut CD. I first discovered this artist by buying his debut CD "Sol, Luna, Tierra" after listening to it in a bookstore. I was so impressed with this style of music that I purchased at least one CD of practically all of the artists that play this type of music (Ottmar Liebert, Jesse Cook, Armik, Luis Villegas, Nova Menco, Lara & Reyes, Govi, Bendetti & Svoboda, etc.). Some of them are quite good, but Sol, Luna, Tierra still remains my favorite. Kiss the Earth is enjoyable to listen to, but it lacks the originality of Sol, Luna, Tierra. Each selection on that CD has its own unique style and character and they reach out and "grab" you. The selections on this CD seem to kind of fade together (with the exception of a few) and sound similar to other artists."
