Free Music Notes for Canciones De Mi PadreFree Music Review: Linda's a local fav (must) in Arizona Hit: 5 Stars
Linda lives in Tucson just a little south of here. You hear her recordings from this particular album in every bar, wedding, and every mariachi festival anywhere in AZ. This is the album I give people when they ask for local Southwestern artists - it is literally the #1 album for anything Mexican in the Southwest; hands-down. This is an especially CLEAN recording, with very very good musicians and excellent production. All of the songs are now standard since the release of this album. Some people protest her powerful volume, but there are some very beautiful ballads too, such as "Two Little Trees", which is performed with her brother. ( now in the Sheriff's Dept. in Tucson).The success of this recording led to muliple concerts at the White House aired on PBS.
Free Music Review: A real surprise! Hit: 5 Stars
I was prepared to put up with the material to hear Linda Ronstadt engage yet another musical genre; I was not prepared to admire it so much. The songs reflect a culrure of heightened romance, braggadacio, machismo, drunkenness, and the drama of love. The almost operatic quality of some of the more dramatic vocal lines is enough to make your hair stand on end. If anyone doubted Ronstadt's vocal facility, the sheer power of "La Cigarra" should quell all doubts. But there is subtlety here, too, and lovely sweet songs delivered in a coy style appropriate to the lyrics. The recording is very crisp and live; your neighbors may think you're having a party with a mariachi band!
Free Music Review: SALUDOS A TODA LA RAZA, BANDA O FLOTA,(como se autodenominen Hit: 5 Stars
I listened to this CD back in Veracruz, Mexico. When I got the tape (that long ago it was)I was kind of reluctant to listen to old classic mariachi songs sung by an American singer, nevertheless she has a Mexican heritage. But I was soon surprised as much as delighted on the beautiful sound that Linda and her producers could achieve. The last time I listended to this record was back in the mid 90's. Now that I found it here, I didn't hesitate in buying it. I hope to get it soon. It's one of the best purchases I've ever made on-line. Greetings to all. Don't forget.

Free Music Review: Tu Solo Tu, Linda! Hit: 5 Stars
"Canciones de mi Padre" is simply more than one singer re-doing Mexican classics. Ronstadt's versions of "Por un Amor," "Tu Solo Tu," and "Y Andale" raise the stakes high: she sings these songs as if they were just written for her beautiful, soaring voice. Crisply and authentically produced by Peter Asher and Ruben Fuentes, this CD is as much a perfect introduction to traditional Mexican rancheras as it is a fine addition to those who mistakenly believe their CD collection is complete. And when Linda hits those high, long notes in "La Charreada," ay! I can feel my abuelita smiling up in heaven!
