5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of Flaco Jimenez, August 12, 2000

This review is from: Best of Flaco Jimenez (Audio CD)

This CD is one of the best I have heard of Flaco Jimenez albums since it has some of his best Tex-Mex recordings, he has done through out the years. the music sound, the songs are some of his best. And I really enjoyed the pamphlet it has inside the album, since it has some of his personal story and several pictures in there most people have not seen. It is certainly a CD, that everyone that's a fan of his, should have in their collection. Thanks to Arhoolie records for doing such a good job in this CD. I certainly enjoy this CD and all the pictures that come with it. Lots of success to all of you. A great fan and friend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pala, August 29, 2004

This review is from: Best of Flaco Jimenez (Audio CD)

I bought this CD because this is the type of music I grew up with and I had heard Flaco Jimenez with The Texas Tornados and The Mavericks. Mr. Jimenez makes playing the accordian as cool as jazz. The vocals have the down-to-earth tones that I imagine was heard around the 'valle' during the my parents' era.
