If you buy one Latin record this year -- make it this one -- because it's one of the greatest ever recorded! Ray's late 60s Acid album is a landmark recording -- a sublime mixture of Latin jazz, percussion, and soul -- grooving hard in a variety of styles, and always hitting the money on every single track. The title cut "Acid" is one of those tunes you'll be playing until you're locked up in a nursing home -- and the rest of the record is equally great -- with cuts like the bouncy groover "Soul Drummers", the tasty boogaloo "El Nuevo Barretto", and the extended "Espiritu Libre", a great Latin jazz track, with very "out" piano!. We have added tracks from Head Sounds album that features Ray playing in a totally hard Latin jazz style, with a bunch of long tracks, and fantastic solos all around. Features "Espiritu Libre", "Drum Poem", and "Tin Tin Deo", which are all over 8 minutes, and storming all the way through
