Hope Sandoval

Another great artist, as shy as my ex wife. That's not ironic, just a statement of fact. Hope Sandoval is from East LA, which is a tiny neighborhood about a mile long on the eastern side of the freeway from Los Angeles (city of). This is a nice series of mellow tender tracks Hope croons out in her particular way. I really respect her as an artist. She really hates crowds, but performs anyway. She has an amazing tenderness and sorrow, enduring life. She's a great break from frenzy. I really appreciate her tempo's being gentle and slow. YouTube is a good preview of this, but the sound quality is far better on the actual CD, worth owning for all the subtle nuance in her voice.

Thank you Hope. You are good people.
