RECENT PRAISE FOR BARCELONA:
“One time and you are hooked, just like the city of Barcelona.”
Jordi Hereu
Mayor of Barcelona
"One of the most inspiring album's EVER!!! Musically: GENIUS, Lyrics: GENIUS, Harmonies: GENIUS. It is so rare to come across an album that can bring it all: Inspiration, spiritual enlightenment, tenderness and love. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND this new album from Sam Lardner".

Sam Lardner's four tracks are like if James Taylor and a ripping latin guitar player had a child together. Do not miss this!

This cd is so cool. Loved the percussion and spanish guitar. The songs are fantastic. What a great voice and production. Buy it!!!!!

It's not often I get this worked-up about a recording. I just think it's one of the best all-around recordings I've heard in a long time. Maybe it's the confluence of its own inherent content & production values--which I feel are exemplary--with current world music trends. The songs, musically and lyrically, the vocal performances, the rich & tasteful arrangements, the instrumental & vocal accompaniments---are all exotic, accessible, and richly compelling.
James Durst
Singer/Songwriter

Flamenco enthusiast
author: Elena PousadaThis multitasker stood still in her web browsing tracks, and could not bring herself to navigate off Sam's webpage fearing that doing so would break the magical spell his "Barcelona" album had cast... Wow, and wow again. Just gorgeous...
Barcelona
author: Pamela OppenThis a terrific cd! The singer, the music; I have played it and replayed it while driving and want to either start dancing or rush home for a romantic evening with my husband!!
Barcelona
author: Alicia SchaeferI listen to this CD while in my friend Filo's house in Barcelona and I loved it that is why when I got back to the USA I decided to order it from you guys. His music in this CD reflects what the city of Barcelona really is...the song "Those little things" is wonderful. Thank you for great music and hopefully when I go back to Barcelona I can meet Sam Lardner.
Uplifting; relaxing
author: sabrina skinnerfeels like a vacation. Very nice!
Barcelona
author: Walt PascoeJust saw these guys at the Taft School in Connecticut. What a blast! Terrific music made with passion, and some serious technical facility.
just kept playing it all the way from Edgartown MA to NYC
author: DFosterVocals and guitar skills that are one break from hitting it big. If you like JT, Van, D Gray, or J Blount, add this to your collection - a unique male vocalist with a great upbeat sound - song 4 is truly inspirational - I brought 8 CDs on a long weekend and never took this out of the CD player - is 30 consecutive playings enough ?
Fun CD
author: katie in atlanta GAThis CD is very fun to listen to - uplifting - international - different. Singing along to "Angel" on the way home from a busy day just makes me feel good. Would love to hear more from Sam Lardner!
Pleasant voice, good rythm to keep attention
author: Pearce HardwickThe music provides a good blend of the artist's easy-to-listen to voice and a soft but attention keeping beat and rythm. There is good variety in the tracks to keep it playing to the end.
As a life long Barcelonian, this speaks eloquently to my city!
author: Maria PuigThis music evoques a variety of Barcelona's people and places, with both modern and traditional moods. It is local yet international, at the same time fresh and warm.
The music got me moving- LOVED IT!
author: Brook HardwickIf you like music that will lighten your step and your heart, this is for you- you will not be disappointed. I for one am hooked and have already recommended to my friends.
Pulsing and passionate, must have in your collection!
author: KarenThis music will open up your heart and mind and take you to a different place. The lyrics are beautifully wrought and the melodies and harmonies range from exhilarating and fresh to hauntingly nostalgic. Virtually EVERY song will become a good friend that you need to have by your side in your car, kitchen, MP3, dinner parties, shower, etc.
Wonderful, breezy music that lifts your spirits
author: SuzanneThis is one of the few CDs that I loved the first time I listened to it. The music is happy, breezy, cross-cultural. The musical arrangements are rich, layered, and a real joy to listen to.
Captues the bohemian feel of Spain
author: MDugs (Ft. Lauderdale)Excellent CD. Good musicianship, fun melodies, catchy hooks, great ballads... wish more independant music could sound like this. Very professional sounding production. (favorite track: #3- House in the Sky) Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a feel good recording.
Just F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C-O !!
author: Arantxa vallsWhat can i say...When i listened to it the 1st time it made me feel so good and couldn't stop dancing, I don't get tired of listening to it. If u listen to it you will want a copy!. Loving music, being Spanish, from Barcelona, where the 'rumba catalana' comes from i could tell you that they have done a FANTASTICO job. Keep on making us feel this good guys. Gracias de corazon.
Discover for yourself the delights - you won't regret it.
author: Richard WarthSam's music along with the flamenco ensemble he has assembled, known as Barcelona, stir crafted rhythms with evocative and beautiful melodies. This cd is testimony of the rich talents that Spanish music has to offer in a fusion that compliment Sam's highly developed lyrical and vocal talents. Discover for yourself the delights - you won't regret it. Play on Sam!
Great Album!! Highly recommended!
author: Alex WarnerWorld class singer- songwriting, beautifully crafted melodies, inspired vocal performances and the sound and rhythms of Spain played by the very best. An amazingly uplifting album full of charm and surprise!!Congratulations Sam Lardner!!

author: Parker GilbertI am a 14 year old and i go to the St. George's school. I think that this is a great cd for all audiances. I especially like the songs Angel and A House in the Sky. This is Sam's best cd he has made so far. It is amazing.

author: Kim from DenmarkMusically: GENIUS, Lyrics: GENIUS, Harmony’s: GENIUS, Everything else: Just Fantastic. Only bad thing: That I only bought one copy!! (My wife keeps stealing it from my car, so now i am back to buy her Christmas present) It is so rare to come across an album that can bring it all: Inspiration, spiritual enlightenment, tenderness and love. I can STRONGLY RECOMMEND this new album from Sam Lardner.
Great music, fun dancing and easy listening!
author: Hannah SemlerThis CD has sauce! My heart goes out to the city of Barcelona and all my memories as I dance to the musical fusion of love, life and culture that this CD expresses. What a beautiful piece of art... and so much fun! Thank you Sam Lardner.
It´s really worth it!
author: Andreas from AustriaThis cd is very precious. Flamenco-beat combined with touching melodies, surprising harmonies and great lyrics. If music can express universal feelings, this cd certainly does. Happiness about friendship and love, sadness about death and loss, amazement about beauty and falling in love. It makes you feel the warmth of Barcelona and it´s people.
amazing vocal and guitar work
author: michael james mooreThis cd is so cool.Loved the percussion and spanish guitar.The songs are fantastic.What a great voice and production.Buy it!!!!!!!!!!!
Inspired Musical Journey
author: ClaireAs an American who recently visited Barcelona for the first time, I was really taken in by the city’s energy and history. Sam has captured the depth and richness of his adopted town’s culture in this CD and he has put it out there in a way that I am sure his Spanish audience appreciates but a stateside audience can definitely embrace. Put yourself on a Mediterranean beach…and imagine the Pretenders, meet John Denver and the Gypsy Kings and throw in a spicy jazz flair. Way to go Sam!
LOVE IT!
author: Rena from BostonThis CD is simply fantastico! My husband and I have been playing the CD every night at home – really fun, upbeat, sexy Mediterranean-sounding music with an acoustic American flair. Our kids love it too! Pour yourself a glass of wine, turn up the volume, and the sound will transport you straight to Barcelona.
que bueno!
author: david from brooklynThis music soothes the savage beast, for sure. Sam's beautiful singing voice, Barcelona's killer instrumentalists, it's everything a cross border musical collaboration should be. Wanna impress a date with your musical depth and transnational ecclecticism? Slap this puppy on you cd machine and let the good times roll.
Excellent!!! - The feel of Barcelona wherever I go.
author: Peter McNallyI highly recommend this CD. I would probably buy it even if it cost $30. WHy? Because this music just puts me in a good mood. It creates a great atmosphere. The talent of the musicians with the mix with Sam's voice is a fantastic musical chemistry. Everyone I have told about and introduced to it has given me huge thanks.
