Details
[Edit]Joe Bataan's debut LP for Fania attempts to focus his "Joe the Rebel" persona, and one trademark is a rowdier edge than most Latin musicians. Tracks like "Muneca" and "Mambo de Bataan" fall within the canon but their energy (check the former's rat-a-tat-tat bridge) and blowsy trombones add an extra kick, just as the ragged loose ends in the vocals don't detract from the locked-down-in-clave-city pocket of "Aguanta La Lengua." "Special Girl" is a nice salsa ballad, and "What Good Is a Castle" goes from slow part one to rip it up a bit on part two. Mr. New York winds ups a bit scattershot, but it's a solid LP with a lot of strong performances that illuminate the late-'60s Latin soul era.
