Review in SD Reader

Always nice to get a review. This one came out yesterday in the San Diego Reader. Pretty good review :) .

Hometown CDs
By Ollie
Published January 25, 2007

Aside from a minute of violin and a bit of bandoneÒn (an instrument similar to an accordion), Tango for One is all acoustic guitar played expertly by William Wilson. The soft parts are quiet and the passionate parts are spirited.

Most of the tracks are what you’d expect from a tango album, although I’m surprised at the pace of some of the songs; they are melancholy rather than fiery, strutting tunes.

Two musicians wrote all of the songs: Alberto Ginastera, and Àstor Piazzolla, prominent Argentinean composers in the early to mid-20th Century. Ginastera is mainly known for making piano or string-quartet music, and Piazzola is best known for his bandoneÒn.

If the songs William chose were written for other instruments, I couldn’t tell. The tracks sound well suited for his acoustic guitar.

You don’t have to be a classical guitar or tango aficionado to enjoy this CD. The music isn’t pretentious; it would be perfect for Sunday brunch or getting drunk on Mexican wine.
