Great job on Jackson, what a great song. Although I noticed you cited it as appearing on At Folsom Prison. The song was actually first recorded a year before on 'Carryin' On' (released Jan 1967), when Johnny was still married to his first wife Vivian. Some say the recording of the song for 'Carryin' On' and the initial live collaborations on the song leading up to the recording of 'At Folsom Prison' (Recorded Jan 1968) is largely responsible for sparking the beginning of their relationship.

I would like to dedicate this review to a certain old buzzard that hangs around my doorstep that I just can't seem to shoo away.

SONG: Veinte Anos
ARTIST: Buena Vista Social Club
ALBUM: Buena Vista Social Club



There is such a primitive exotic beauty about this song. My heart pounds when I listen to it. Even though I was born in Kansas I swear I am Cuban at heart. The simplicity of the music just connects with my most primal features. My femininity soars out of me at the sound of those first few intoxicating notes. The way the masculinity and femininity dance around with each other is so primordial and satisfying. Oh how those two elements, man and woman, complement each other so well. And that rhythm cannot be ignored no matter how hard I try. It is a dangerous combination when both my rhythm and my femininity are awakened. I love to dance to this song, it reminds me what a terribly sexual being I can be. I feel the gracefulness of the music in me and I sway around my bedroom letting my hair fall around me and letting my clothes fall to the floor. Its amazing how beautiful music can make you feel beautiful. If I closed my eyes I would swear I was dancing up on a table in a red dress in a dark Cuban bar. Its a liberating feeling just letting go to such a simple pleasure. Its my indulgence. And sharing this passionate song with my even more passionate James Bond love affair is what makes it so much more to me than just another song. Its forever tied to him. God I love music. You cannot put a price tag on a song that makes you crave big fat cigars and wild sex.

I'd love to be able to do a write up so detailed, like you. As ridiculous as you may find that. I love your write ups. I always read them before I listen to the song. Once again. Brilliant write up Flower Child.

This song shares very little in common musically with your last post but the sentiments are hopefully the same.

Scratch all that new wave chic that people easily dismiss and delve into music that really clicks inside. It's not big and it's not clever. In fact it sounds akin to travel brochure music for the balmy resorts of the Mediterranean yet somehow it ticks every single box for me.

I am not a musician. I have never claimed to be and although one of the first things I look for in music is sincerity, I find originality, individualism and attitude all coming a close second but at the end of the day I still want music to take me somewhere else even for a brief moment.

A song that immediately transports you to a far away beach that you have no hope of reaching can be percieved as wistful folly but not for me. That's why the human brain has an exclusive area for music. It's designed to be an emotional fall back whether good or bad.

Looking upon the most intoxicating sunset and knowing peace is usually a pipe dream for the majority of us, so what is wrong with being there by proxy? This song takes me there for a few minutes and does it every time. Nothing else matters in this time and I feel like I'm the only person in the world when I hear this song.

This song could be attributed to a multitude of emotions- love, peace, melancholy, wistful sadness, hope or sadness but in the end it still means something to me at different times.

Your previous post is the sort of post that shows exactly what music means to people and the sort of post that still keeps me coming back to MB time and time again.

Since you like this song and are already dancing to it, appreciating the music's sensuous seductiveness, you would probably really love dancing the tango, Flower Child!

Lovely description, jackhammer, of a song's gentle power to transport you internally to a different state of being. Just because the feelings aren't caused by the actual experience of traveling doesn't make them any less real or valid.

I love Gotan Project's remixes of their combining their native Argentine tangos with house music beats. Gotan is an ongoing remix project of two deejays Philippe Cohen Solal and Christoph H. Mueller who proclaim themselves as "the top Argentine musicians exiled in Paris." Gotan sells millions of records in South American and Europe and but in the United States nobody's ever heard of them, except for a few deejays in underground dance clubs in New York, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles.

The tango was first performed as erotic entertainment in the 19th bordellos of Montevideo, Argentina and the dance spread to Buenos Aires. The tango became the rage of Paris and many other European cities following a 1912 tour of the first professional troupe Argentine tango dancers.
