Synopsis

Album Description
Guitarist Wayne Wesley Johnson brings together a diverse group of musicians for his 2003 solo release "Canciones Del Alma", meaning `songs from the soul`. On several tracks, Johnson integrates Chinese pentatonic melodies perfomed on guitar, guitar synthesizer and pipa (Gao Hong) blended with Spanish and Latin rumba flamenco rhythms and further complimented with Bolivian pan flutes and charango (Mario Reynolds). Another highlight is Johnson`s collaboration with Ventures guitarist Nokie Edwards

CD Reviews

Simply one great album for all musical tastes.
Michael J Woznicki | Holland, MA USA | 07/03/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"As a freelance reviewer most of the time I determine what I want to review, however in rare instances I get the opportunity to review something that I didn't choose. In this case it was certainly my pleasure to have the chance to hear some of the best music I have heard in a long time. There is no doubt as to the unbelievable gift and talent that Wayne Wesley Johnson has and his ability to share this with everyone in nothing short of amazing. Throughout this album, there is a collection of 14 tracks; each one has its own unique sound and a blend of musical flavor that makes this collection one to have. I found a mix of Rumba, Spanish guitar, jazz, fusion, classical and R & B sounds mixed together and blended in delicate, yet sharp edged sound. The set takes you through a wide range of musical emotion, from the slow and smooth to quick and fast paced. Overall, this album is for anyone looking for the sounds that make a rainy day seem easier to handle or for those looking to take a leisurely drive or even those who just want to sit around a warm fire on a cold winter's day. My highest recommendation - you certainly won't be disappointed with this purchase!"
Soothing & Stimulating - all in one!

"I enjoy this type of music so I tend to listen to alot of it. Since Wayne is a relatively new artist, I wasn't sure of what to expect. However, after listening to the CD I can tell you that this artist (and CD) is a real undiscovered gem.This easy listening production is some of the best music of this genre I have ever heard. Soothing and stimulating all in one very entertaining package.As with his other works, Wayne seamlessly blends jazz, r&b and Spanish flamenco flavor with ease. The arrangements flow, the melodies captivate and you'll find yourself hitting the replay button over and over again.This CD is a first rate entry into Wayne's already impressive portfolio. Buy it with confidence, it's loaded with tracks you'll enjoy over and over again."
