Todo O Amor by Barbara Casini (1997)

This is the best album I've listened to by Barbara Casini so far for a number of reasons: it features her great guitar playing, it has a recording sound that's not overproduced but also very clear, and she writes a lot of the songs (only one song is a cover). I'm still getting some Joyce influences on this album but who would complain about that? The songs and recording sound are dense in atmosphere. I especially like the instrumental "Sururu" featuring flutes, some energized percussion which sounds like a Celtic-Italian march. "Un Canto" has a nice guitar intro that's a nod to Baden Powell's version of "Samba do Avião". Deft acoustic guitar, enjoyable songs, and strong atmospheric vocals make this album my favorite so far (I'm still searching for her "Luiza" album though so that may change in the near future).
