Isla was Mike Pinera's long overdue solo album, self-produced for Capricorn in 1978. Recorded with what Pinera fans might easily describe as an all-star lineup (keyboardist Duane Hitchings and drummer Donny Vosburgh were his bandmates in Thee Image; Hitchings also played alongside him in the New Cactus Band), it is very much a successor to the two Thee Image albums that preceded it. With its strongest moments cut in a similar mold to mid-period Doobie Brothers, or even recent Eric Clapton, its ten songs include the Spanish language title track, alongside the gorgeous "Nobody Wins" and "Lady Divine," while the opening "Alone with You" leans strongly, and successfully, into rock-disco territory. Overall, however, it's a very laid-back set, which — like contemporary Clapton LPs — might render it a shock for anyone coming in from Pinera's already legendary past with Blues Image, Iron Butterfly, and Ramatam. But it will still delight guitar aficionados, and Pinera's voice remains unmistakable.
