Synthesis

Raul Midón may be the most compelling "triple threat" to come along in years--a show-stopping guitarist, powerful pop/soul/jazz vocalist, and a remarkable, outspoken songwriting talent. His brilliance in all three areas is on vivid display on his third album, Synthesis, recorded by legendary producer and bassist Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Herbie Hancock) with some of L.A.'s finest musicians. The album features eleven new songs, including ten Midón originals and a stunning cover of The Beatles' "Blackbird." Raul Midón--who critics have compared to Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, and Donny Hathaway--and his twin brother Marco both lost their vision as newborns.
