CD ReviewsAn audio time machine of Texas and Mexican guitar classics David Cantu | San Antonio, TX USA | 09/20/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "After listening to Frank Corrales in person and enjoying his personable and light hearted stage presence, the first thing anyone would want to do is to preserve the moment in owning a recording of this spicy and melodically happy music. These are musical pieces that were heard in movie theatres and cantinas from the early 1900s to the 1950s, played in exactly the same fashion. I heard music on this album that was incorporated in the soundtrack of one of Clint Eastwood's spagetti westerns and the opening music to the Robert Rodriguez movie Desperado, all done on acoustic guitar. A charming rendition of Manuel Ponce's Estrellita finishes the album. This is truely a time machine to the music of the working class of Texas and Mexico during the first quarter of this century." An Acoustic Delight Kurt Harding | Boerne TX | 12/21/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Five years ago, I was introduced to the music of Frank Corrales while shopping in the San Antonio alternative record store Hog Wild and bought Corrales' solo album "Border Spice". While I enjoyed that very much, I hadn't thought about his music lately until I saw Cantina Classics on this site. I didn't hesitate to buy it and was very pleased when I put it on. From start to finish it is a treat. Most of us, gringo or Latino, who live in the Southwest are familiar with tunes such as Jalisco No Te Rajes, La Paloma, Rancho Grande, Las Mananitas, and Estrellita. Those of you who like Mexican music in general will be pleased by the inclusion of Agustin Lara classics like Solamente Una Vez and Noche de Ronda. In addition to those mentioned, I particularly like the energetic Morena de Mi Amor and Las Gaviotas. Corrales' guitar prowess shines throughout. Cantina Classics is a relaxing album fit for home and office. I highly recommend this acoustic delight to anyone who enjoys the sound of a well-played guitar." Touched My Heart Kurt Harding | 07/06/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a CD that truly touched my heart. The guitar music is just like the music I remember hearing in my younger days. This CD has a magical quality. When you hear the music you either want to dance or sing along if you can remember the words. I recommend it to everybody. It doesn't matter if you consider yourself latin or something else. This music will make you feel good all over."
