Review by John Bush
Though Joe Torres recorded only one LP, Latin fans of several generations were later introduced to him through a succession of legal and extra-legal nuggets compilations, including Soul Cargo ("Nightwalk"), Latino Blue ("Soul Cha"), and Broasted or Fried ("Get Out of My Way"). Recorded in 1966 for World Pacific, Latino con Soul is a cooker of an album, one that blends the hot boogaloo of Johnny Colon with the steamy, jazzier sound of Willie Bobo or the Jazz Crusaders (the latter courtesy of great interplay between trumpeter Gary Barone and tenor Bill Hood). "Get Out of My Way" is the perfect opener and one of the prime boogaloo cuts of the era, a viciously swinging female fend-off with vocalist Ric DeSilva leading the chorus. DeSilva returns for another highlight, the moody "Nightwalk," playing up the persona of the dark Latin balladeer. The trials of releasing a record on a major label probably forced Torres to contribute covers of Bobby Hebb's "Sunny" and the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby," but the latter shines on this treatment.

Reseña de John Bush
Aunque Joe Torres sólo grabó un LP, los fans latinos de varias generaciones le fueron presentados más tarde a través de una sucesión de compilaciones de nuggets legales y extralegales, incluyendo Soul Cargo ("Nightwalk"), Latino Blue ("Soul Cha"), y Broasted or Fried ("Get Out of My Way"). Grabado en 1966 para World Pacific, Latino con Soul es el cocinero de un álbum que mezcla el boogaloo caliente de Johnny Colon con el sonido vaporoso y más jazzístico de Willie Bobo o los Jazz Crusaders (este último cortesía de una gran interacción entre el trompetista Gary Barone y el tenor Bill Hood). "Get Out of My Way" es el comienzo perfecto y uno de los mejores cortes de boogaloo de la época, un vicioso final femenino con el vocalista Ric DeSilva dirigiendo el coro. DeSilva regresa para otro punto culminante, el malhumorado "Nightwalk", interpretando a la persona del baladista latino oscuro. Las pruebas de lanzar un disco en un sello importante probablemente obligaron a Torres a contribuir con portadas de "Sunny" de Bobby Hebb y "Eleanor Rigby" de los Beatles, pero esta última brilla en este tratamiento.
