Free Music Review: CANCIONES DVD Available June 8, 2004!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
The stunning concert show CANCIONES DE MI PADRE Starring LINDA RONSTADT & DANNY VALDEZ is now available! Yes, this concert dvd is the critically acclaimed tour show that showcased LINDA RONSTADT to sold out venues and audiences across the USA in 1988. You must see Ronstadt "live" and also experience "An Evening In Old Mexico" with Linda and company! Absolutely no other performer can sing so sincere and passionately from the heart, hold the notes amazingly for what seems forever, captivate, hypnotize, bewilder & entertain an audience with their vocal abilities like LINDA RONSTADT does. Twenty one spectacular songs are performed fully on stage as well as acted out - this is a show you'll cherish forever. Only nine of the performed songs on this Dvd appear on Miss Ronstadt's Mariachi Cd Albums("Canciones De Mi Padre" & "Mas Canciones")and she also performs among others, the heartfelt classics "Volver, Volver" and soulful Mexican standard "Cancion Mixteca" as the double encore. Viva LaRONSTADT!!! Also available at Amazon.com!Free Music Review: Mediocre

Kudos for her as an artist to make a difficult cross-over from Pop to Mariachi. However, the arrangements aren't innovative, she chose some questionable songs, as a singer she lacks good phrasing in Spanish,and her voice is monotonous (her voice has only one color, and she doesn't present us with meaningful volume contrasts).Free Music Review: GOOD SPANISH LEARNING PRACTICE
Hit: 5 Stars
When I was little around six I used to dread having to learn Spanish and freaking about speaking it in front of my grandmother. Until my mom bought a copy of Linda Ronstadt's Canciones De Mi Padre and by learning the lyrics to Tu Solo Tu I had memorized the whole song IN SPANISH by heart. Thanks to this cd my Spanish has greatly improved and not as weak as some speakers. If you are looking for a good way to learn Spanish this cd is for you and if you love the way Linda sings in Spanish try any cds by Pedro Fernandez and once again Happy listening and happy learning tooFree Music Review: Absolutely Mind-Blowing!
Hit: 5 Stars
I like all kinds of music. Techno, Rock, Classical, Pop... it goes on and on. But in general I don't really care for Spanish music. Then why does this album get such a high rating from me, you might ask?When I was six years old my father got a brand new high-fi sound system with huge, miraculously clean and rich sounding speakers. CD players were relatively new at the time, and we only had a few cds. One of the ones he used to play was this one. I have memories of listening this cd with him and being absolutely mezmorized by the vocals, which can only be described as magical. Since then I have heard many more vocals by the great Linda Ronstadt (perhaps most notably her unbelievable singing in the movie version of The Pirates of Penzance). But this album holds a special place in my heart. This cd was made back the days when high-fi really WAS high-fi. When the crystal-clear cd-audio was used to full effect. This cd is perfectly balanced, perfectly mastered. Truly amazing.
The vocals on this cd are just plain mind-blowing. They are what makes Linda Ronstadt one of my favorite singers. She can hold huge high notes with just the right amount of vibrato (at the top of her lungs) for what I would consider an insanely long period of time. But she doesn't sing just to impress. She sings from her heart.
If you love Linda Ronstadt, you need this album. If you love classic Spanish music, you need this album. If you just appreciate great singing, you need this album. Truly of the all-time greats.

I was very disappointed in the 2 CD's I bought. Linda is in the background, her songs are muffled and words cannot be heard. In the foreground is a loud guitar which overtrumps the whole music. I wished I could return the CD, it was not worth the money. I had a previous casette by her, which I lost and I wanted to replace it. What a disappointment.
