"The expected release of FLY in the US is finally here!
It has all the usual elements of Zucchero,no surprises here. The ever fascination with Louisiana and the Mississipi is present once again with the Gospel Choir and blues guitar riff in Let It Shine (Which is included as a bonus track in English as Shine)the other bonus track is the English version of Occhi (Flying Away).The rest of the tracks is sheer signature Zucchero. However , the track that caught my ear was Cuba Libre. This is no brainer, if you are a Rock'n'Roll fan you will clearly identify this song as a scrambled/reshuffled California Dreamer by The Pappas and the Mammas,flute and all. Again no surprises here, Zucchero has done this in the past. If you rememeber well, he took Clapton's Wonderful Tonight; sped the tempo up and came up with Wonderful World, he even had Clapton as guest guitarrist!
The hand of legendary producer Don Was is noticeable in the first track Bacco perbacco, very funky a la Zucchero.The rest of the album for our delight is the Zucchero we all love, soulful and heartfelt ballads of love,fidelity,Blues and Rock'n'Roll. An essential in every Zucchero fan's collection."
