James,

Love The Crossing !

Still have fond memories of seeing Alejandro live!
“The Crossing” is very good music with great production values.  A mature yet playful, serious yet fun record.   Not a lot of records this tight.  
The downside (if one might care -  I don’t really) is the vocals.  
But we don’t listen to Ry Cooder, or Jimmy Webb ( or some other great songwriters I could name but won’t for fear of argument) for the quality of their voices.  Do we.  
I mean, there is just something about The message (emotional transfer) of a song delivered by the maker of it.  “The Crossing” is very much one of those Experiences.

I saw AE in a small local club a couple years ago. He’s such a wonderful artist. (I’m getting chills writing this) Down to earth, no pretence,REAL!

FWIW, did you know Sheila E is a relative?
