The words

No words on this one. Lágrima means “teardrop”; Tárrega wrote it in 1891. I play it a touch faster than the usual slow, weepy takes. Not in a hurry, they just never spoke to me. More flow, a little fire, the melancholy kept underneath. Honestly, I mostly recorded it to show off my new Córdoba C12. Only a little. Cedar top, warm as a hearth. Headphones recommended.

The raven list

Hear the next song first.

Before release day, with the tale of how it was born.
