Sounds similar to the descending chord progression in Stairway to Heaven.

This was a cool groove for the first 3 minutes. Ready to move on.

Ah, the Andalusian chord progression. When you want to write a dramatic-sounding song, but don't feel like putting in the effort.

At least you'd have justification for the "extra" guitar!

We have been fans of Willy and Lobo since 1995 after hearing them at Mama Mia's in PV. Bought our condo there the same year and have been buying their records and attending their concerts ever since. I also found the book Puerto Vallarta Squeeze on a remnant bookshelf later. They have provided many memorable evenings sitting on our terrace looking at the sun set over the water, drinking tequila and listening to them.
 Perfect  "mind's eye" scene for definition of ...."Tranquility"! ✌️ God bless

"This is an illustration by Jody Hewgill for the book cover for Puerto Vallarta Squeeze. She was a featured illustrator in an issue of Communication Arts. She describes, "The central theme of the novel is a love triangle in which each character has their own hidden agenda. The woman, coming from a peasant existence, is looking for a way out of her current existence. The man hugging her, complacent in his relationship with her, is blind to the threat of the stranger behind him. The color palette that I adopted is a little warmer than I am used to, but I wanted to achieve a hot and sultry mood."" (https://bridgetjamieson.blogspot.de)

Wow, was that irritating! I kept waiting for the piece to get going, to do their version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" but it never did. I like the song even less than the first time I heard it.

It's from a book cover that was released a year before this record, Puerto Vallarta Squeeze by Robert James Waller.
So now the question is where did the book cover come from?

Saw these guys, by accident, in Puerto Vallerta at the River Cafe' about 12 to 15 years ago with then-girlfriend-now-wife... still stands out as single most amazing live performance i've ever seen and most romantic (movie-like) moment i've ever had. We've seen them at least 6 times since and they never fail to deliver an excellent performance. Totally original and beautiful music. They have 6 or 7 discs. they're all great. If you can find the live one, get it.

Hey, when my daughter was about three, she used to nap to PIL. She could also yodel and yelp right along with them when awake. I, too, can sleep through a concert. Can be a rather pricey nap. Helchat wrote:

This is masterful. The commenter 'how many times have we seen this'? Cmon, yes it's a spanish rhythm, fast talented guitar... but isn't that just like a blues progression? Sure it's been done before, but that's like saying "How many times can we hear a guitar play." - it's not the instrument, it's how it's played. In this case, it's not the style, it's how it's played.
Well put!
