A sensational return to form for Josh Rouse - El Turista is being released on Josh's own label Bedroom Classics. Unexpected and utterly sublime, El Turista's sultry song cycle will shuffle seamlessly in tandem with Getz/Gilberto and Graceland, albums as boldly surprising in their eras as El Turista is in this one. El Turista marks a new direction for the critically acclaimed cult artist, while offering the musical sophistication and emotional depth Rouse's devoted constituents have come to expect from him thanks to a consistently enthralling body of work highlighted by the modern-day landmarks 1972 (2003) and Nashville (2005), both of which are generously sampled on the marvellous 2008 retrospective The Best of the Rykodisc Years.
