Rodrigo Y Gabriela
This Mexican duo, male and female, rock. They couldn't get big in Mexico so where did they go.....Ireland. And they blew them away. They charted a #1 album with this new one (self-titled). After Ireland, they are now blowing the USA away. The woman beats out beats on her guitar, and then they both solo like crazy. I feel a smacking of the Guitar Trio (Dimeola, McLaughlin, and Delucia) but that's cool. I've never found anyone but myself that even liked that reference. I like it. 5 out of 5 thumbs for the new self titled album.
