When it comes to Mr. Richman's vast library of works, from early Modern Lovers, to his last album that dropped last year, picking any favorite is not unlike picking out what to eat at a breakfast buffet. Everything is good in it's own way, but as I'm keeping up my summer album theme, it was a tough choice between Having a Party or this masterpiece, Te Vas A Emocionar!. But I had to go with the latter. I don't know what it is about Jonathan doing solo acoustic Spanish renditions of his various works, but it is in a realm of summer beauty all in it's own. Try listening to "No Mas Por Fun" (a rendition of "Just For Fun" duh) in the midst of dreary January snow days....it just doesn't work for me. These are hot weather staples for me. Tuly enjoyable. As all of his stuff usually is.
