Fernando Perdomo’s – Zebra Crossing.

$9.49
9

OVERALL

9.0/10

I have had the pleasure of seeing Fernando Perdomo live a few times with Dave Kerzner and I can say he is one of the most electric musicians I have ever seen.

I was delighted to see this album show up in my inbox. The album is full of nice melodies and I really enjoyed listening to it.  I definitely hear some Beatles callbacks in this album its most obvious in the title track.  

I have this down as a moderate thumbs up.  Its a crowded field of talented prog artists out there so although I think that I personally would be listening to something else I think that you might like to put this in your personal high rotation. 

My favorite Song is listed below.   Queue it up and you will be glad you did.

If you have never read the key for my ratings below please do so one time. I feel my ratings are tougher than my peers. Some other reviewers may inflate their ratings in hopes to get people and bands the share the link to the review. When you have a domain like progrock.com you don’t need to drive traffic to your site.
So you can count on my reviews to be fair and any bias I might have whether positive or negative will be clearly explained including a rating for my opinion of the band prior to reviewing the album. Also Check my last.fm link to see how compatible our music tasts are.
