Ick’s Pick: Josh Rouse’s El Turista

I knew next to nada about Josh Rouse before hearing of his new album El Turista a couple weeks ago. The review I read spoke of laid back Latin-inspired rhythms, the kind of vibe Stan Getz and João Gilberto exuded. That’s my kind of vibe.

After streaming the album on Lala (sounding like a broken record with Lala lately), I was hooked. One listen is all it took. And I know there are those of you out there who will lock in the same way I did.

Take some time right now – listen to this record on the nifty little widget down there.

Then, here you go: El Turista (Bonus Version). You’ll thank me later.
