Album Review
Decca
Reviewed 2007-08-28
Recorded in the 1950s featuring accordion, guitars, drums, bass and tight 3-part vocal harmonies (a few instrumentals). The accordion is extra good. Lots of Tejano polkas and rancheras, classic stuff that’s all worth a play. Read the informative notes for more info.

1. A relaxed, midtempo sway w/good accordion.
*2. Bright & fun upbeat bolero w/kitchy-good maracas.
3. Everybody polka! A total toe-tapper. Bright & catchy.
*4. Mid/downtempo w/good vocals & warm arrangement.
*5. Another toe-tapper, this time w/really good vocals.
6. Relaxed dance w/impressively overwrought vocals.
7. Bouncy accordion/strings with solid vocals.
*8. Warm and swaying folk dance, nicely done.
*9. Upbeat w/a fun, tripping sort of melody.
10. Lazy ranchera w/maracas and warm, old-fashioned feel.
11. It’s the Fidel Castro Polka! Yee haw! Upbeat & catchy.
*12. Upbeat medley of folk dances w/lots of energy.
13. Romantic, downtempo bolero.
14. Fun & lively polka.
*15. Upbeat ranchera w/tight blend of voices/accordion/strings.
