Early buzz:
A fan writes:
“Eddie Benitez was born to play guitar. But he is much more than that. Eddie has an inborn talent for songwriting, arranging and producing. Not only for his own music, but for other artists as well . . . . The beauty of his songwriting is recognized by anyone with an ear for rhythmic and romantic joy. Eddies latest effort shows a maturity that belies his long career.”
George Benson
“This time we are treated to music that is uncompromisingly Benitez—serving no other masters by taking the Indie route with his own label, TiaraMuzik. The reward for the listener is the pure passion, spirituality and heart of Eddie Benitez in this remarkable new CD. Not to mention his trademark sensuality spilling over with musical heat and rhythm.” MaryEllen O’Brien, writer & veteran radio personality
“Eddie Benitez music has a classical, new age, blues,?rock, Latin sound to it all mixed in at times. His?music is honest, straight-forward, passionate, healing, divine, spiritual, sensual, rhythmic, original, creative, free-flowing like that of a waterfall with nature.”
Peggy Leyva-Conley, Music Reviewer &?former Editor/Columnist ?for Delta Snake Blues Magazine
The Songs
To listen to Eddie Benitez is to listen to music that is as spiritual as it is sensual. This new CD is a breakthrough that demonstrates a rare depth in music today—music that is permeated with sensuality and spirituality, proving there is no need to separate the two. The music comes from a dive deep into his heart and soul, a bit of a commune with angels, and a return trip with these intoxicating gems for the world to enjoy.
The lineup of songs includes the passionate “They Cry,” a song attributed to angelic inspiration, and one that can be powerfully healing to those who listen to it, especially if listened to in a meditative way.
“Beyond Love Itself”
“I know of no other guitarist who can simultaneously deliver a sound that is raw guitar gutsiness cohabitating with a clarity and tone that are a symphony of control and lightness. That takes genius, and that is what we are hearing.”
