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.

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.

1. Ay te dejo en San Antonio
2. La tumba sera el final
3. El guero polkas (instrumental)
4. Cuando mas tranquila
