CD reissue. Under-promoted, under-appreciated and ultimately under-sold, Cabretta is a sleeper masterpiece that sounds as good today as it did in 1977. Like all truly great rock 'n' roll, the songs mix fantasy and longing... Venus of Avenue Dquot; and quot;Spanish Strollquot; find their romance in the street, and both walk that line between lust and longing, in the feeling of getting turned on by somebody. A mix of tough talking bravado, street-walking struts and sweet nostalgic ballads, quot;Gunslingerquot; features puck's attack while quot;Spanish Strollquot; boasts a pronounced R&B/Latin groove. Produced by Jack Nitzche, the album is as lean and sharp as it's front man.
