It is an album with several versions of Portuguese band Soaked Lambs

This is a very eclectic cd, we traveled to various places, in multiple languages​​, on multiple timelines and various musical strands through 12 tracks that should be heard without haste, like as the day it was recorded, on Sunday, if you really want to know. There is a certain fusion in some of the themes, but what remains are the versions of some classic of Merle Travis, or Georgia White and others and also there is room for three songs in Portuguese, which I highlight "the flower and the thorn" that had the collaboration of Rodrigo Leão in the arrangements and that was the debut single from this album full of treasures. I must say I'm suspicious to talk about this band, since in addition to music, there are two significant reasons to make like this "soaked lambs," the singer, Mariana Lima Balas with her velvet voice that reminds me of the divas of the 50s, her retro look seduces me, not to mention the glasses, it is my fashion side talking, but in fact I cannot resist it! The other reason is Alfonso Cruz, the big guy with the beard, I like everything he writes and draws for the covers of the CD. It is a literary weakness, but I am hopeless. Gito, Vasco, Tiago and Miguel forgive me, but if it's of any consolation, I love the way you play the versions ranging from jazz, to blues, towards tango. It is actually true, I warned you it was a trip!
