"I discovered this album while doing research into Dylan covers ~ the way MMEB take Dylan's shortest song (under 1m 30s) and turn it into a 9m 55s classic is a masterpiece. I have added this version of the song onto my 'top 100 Dylan covers' chart."  Reply

"Donato is not a singer, so his voice brings the songs down _ it's way better when Nana Caymmi sings on "Mentiras"... The music is good, though; full of swing... But it's not a really exciting record."  Reply
