PEDRO LUIS FERRER/Final: Coming on like the anti-Ricky Ricardo, this Cuban music vet delivers a folk sounding set where the sound might be spare but the vibe is expansive. A warm, personal recording, the title is a bit perplexing since he's only 63 and not dead but there's no question the music is wonderful. Killer stuff for the armchair traveler that loves the feel of a Cuba Libre in his hand more often than not. Check it out.
