Recommendations for Richard Bona CDs?

Sign in to disble this ad
I have been really getting into Richard Bona lately. I love his playing as well as his voice. So I have been looking into purchasing some of his CDs. I was hoping folks would have some recommendations as to which are his best. From the vidoes I've seen on Youtube his live stuff is really cool, which I was hoping would carry over to his studio work. But it seems like some of his records contain a large number of ballad-y/slower songs that (and I could be wrong on this) put a greater emphasis on his vocals than his bass playing.

"Bona Makes You Sweat" seemed like something I would like, also "Munia: The tale" had some very pretty songs on it. It is just hard to tell sometimes with the 30-second preview on itunes or Amazon.

So any recommendations would be appreciated!

Munia: The Tale is great. He rarely if ever displays super-bass-technique in it, but it doesn't matter because he sounds so good and the songs and production are top notch.
