CD ReviewsFlamenco fantastico William Samuels | Las Vegas | 05/30/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "In the spirit of faux-flamenco music ala Strunz and Farah, Ottmar Liebert and the Gypsie Kings, the Kevin Townson group bring their infectious latin groves to the forefront of the genre with their debut release, Pictures of Spain. From the opening track, Gypsy Desire (a homage to The Gypsy Kings?) Kevin Townson's quartet grabs the listener with a tight, infectious groove and solid guitar work that sets the tone for the rest of the disc. Tracks Aster's Flight and Stampede will jump out at the listener with their energetic rhytmic ferocity. Rhythm section components Philippe Baugh (bass) and Warren Dewey (percussion) hold down the group with solid, non-pervasive work. Every track a winner."
