Free Music Notes for Canciones de Mi PadreFree Music Review: What A Voice Hit: 5 StarsMy Parents really enjoyed this particulay album when it came out a few years ago. This past month, we celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and this CD was played throughout the grand party - bringing sweet memories and tears of rememberance to both parents eyes and their childrens eyes. Being that Mom is of hispanic heritage and dad's deep appreciation of that culture - that adds up to my love of this type of music. This CD is a treasure that will provide memories forever.
Free Music Review: Great CD. Hit: 5 StarsThis is an excellent CD. Linda Ronstadt has never sounded better, singing that is. She has a great voice, but she is a left-wing quack who spouts her mouth off about things she knows nothing about. If you can forgive her nutty liberal opinions, then I will highly recommend. Great CD.
Hey Linda, "SHUT UP AND SING!".
Free Music Review: Ronstadt at her best. Hit: 5 StarsRonstadt sings these very difficult classical Canciones like the professional that she is. I highly reccomend this album to fans of beautiful Mexican music.
Free Music Review: Beautiful homage to her father's culture Hit: 5 StarsLike Linda Ronstadt, I'm from the United States, but I grew up hearing my father play the music of his native land, Mexico.
I was a child of 70's & 80's rock and it took me many years to finally come around to appreciating Mexican folk music and culture. This awesome album by Linda Ronstadt was one of the reasons. I guess it took hearing a familiar voice and modern production values for me to finally hear this beautiful music as something alive and not merely some faded memory from the past. (Another album that helped, and which I highly recommend, is "La Pistola Y El Corazon" by Los Lobos.)
In any case, I am so thankful to Linda for making this album and opening my ears, for igniting my appreciation and love for the folk music of Mexico.
Not being an expert or native Mexican, I wouldn't presume to compare Linda to the great native singers from Mexico's past (Lucha Reyes, Lola Beltran, etc) or present. Whether she is as good as them or not, I can't say. But I do know that I love this album with a passion, and I can't recommend it highly enough to anyone who wants to discover the great music of Mexico.
