Gino Vannelli invites you to a sojourn on “Wilderness Road”

Are you here? It’s The Paul Leslie Hour. We’ve got a review for you today of Gino Vannelli’s 2019 album Wilderness Road. Oh man, you’ve got to hear the album.

So let’s have that reviewing fool take it from here.

“Perfect” is a pretty heavy word. There aren’t many albums that meet that description, and I don’t think that we should just throw around that word — “perfection.”

I love greatness, and I’m in awe of people who create art that reaches the level of flawless, or even seemingly flawless. As a lover of music, I listen to albums by the gross. Sometimes I forget that not everyone consumes music in such quantities. When you listen to lots of records, you may start to judge the music a little differently. That said, it doesn’t mean anyone is more or less qualified to judge a record.

There aren’t so many twenty first century albums that reach the pinnacle, but it does happen. It’s always thrilling when it does.
