This is pretty good for those looking for a bit of "retro" sounding music. His latest album is MUCH better. This guy is up and coming, though...

Also check out his remixes on Zero 7's latest album. Very good.

from start to finish, Veneeer was a wecome surprise to me. Intimate like Nick Drake, or Leonard Cohen, yet emotional and immediate in a way that when I first listened to the cd, I couldn't stop listening until the entire cd was finished. Solid folk stuff, excellent debut. Try the cover of the Knife's "Heartbeats", the stirring "Crosses", ans the latin inspired "Stay in the Shade" with its flamenco-esque backbeat.

This man is incredibly gifted and talented and we're lucky he's willing to share with the rest of us. The more I listen to this cd the more I appreciate his gifts.

I was lucky to have my sister send me this CD...I would have never come across it on my own...I'm not musically savvy enough! It's like Elliot Smith's mood/lyrics meets Jack Johnson vocal/playing quality. It's a hauntingly beautiful CD with moving lyrics and excellent acoustic guitar work. In a world of NOISE it's nice to have a CD like this in your collection for those days when you're feeling quiet...

I first heard Jose on a few Zero & tracks on their last album. As soon as I found out who he was and his bio, I immediately purchased his solo CD. He has been compared to a modern Jose Feliciano, but I feel more of a Latin David Crosby thing happening. Either way, he is unique in his lyrics and passion. Anyone who hears me playing this CD, instantly wants to know who it is, and they are entranced by his beautiful voice. Jose Gonzalez will never go out of style.
