CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com This southwestern super session brings together Cesar Rosas and David Hidalgo of Los Lobos, Chicano country stars Freddy Fender and Rick Treviño, Texas rocker Joe Ely, norteño accordion wizard Flaco Jimenez, and Tejano bandleader Ruben Ramos to pay homage to the Texan-Mexican tradition. The music is acoustic and generally string-driven, with guitars and violins recalling early mariachi and dancing accordion lines. There are some great party tunes, but ballads are the rule, and Treviño and Fender both show superb grace in their vocals. Ely turns in a heartfelt version of Woody Guthrie's "Deportee," but almost all the songs are in Spanish (with translations in the booklet). Each features only one or two of the headlining singers and there is none of the crowded feel of some all-star efforts, just a relaxed and swinging exploration of the classic Tejano sound. --Elijah Wald Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsBeautiful traditional mexican music compilation Ronald Van Scherpenzeel | Madrid, Spain | 11/04/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I know everybody calls this music and the artists who sing it "tex-mex" or "conjunto music". On other occasions this may be right f.e. The Texas Tornados, Los Lobos etc. but this wonderful CD - except for 2 songs - is 100% traditional Mexican music varying from huapango to bolero, from norteño to jarocho. No one would say after listening to it that all these 7 musicians, except one, were North American born citizens although of mexican origin.I would like to render my respects especially to the late Freddy Fender who passed away only 3 weeks ago. One day before he died I reviewed his "La música de Baldemar Huerta" CD and rated it with 5 stars because you can't give 6! Quite a surprise to find out he also participated with the Super Seven besides his incredible contribution to the Texas Tornados. He started out as the Be-Bop Kid, then became a C&W star and ended up being probably the best and most important contributor to the Mexican-American music blends. Besides the mentioned "Baldemar Huerta" CD, this Super Seven gathering is without any doubt one of the nicest CD's of my 45 years record buying history!" Great music!!! J. Schneider | Los Angeles, CA | 04/13/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I love this CD. It combines an interesting mix of artists whose music together or individually is great. The ballads are wonderful and the whole cd is wonderful to listen to. I would recommend it highly!" Tradicion, tradicion A. Russell | LA, CA | 02/19/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "Great collection of talent presenting traditional material without irony. Neither artificial emulation of the past, nor snarky remakes, this album is classic music presented by top musicians at the peak of their form. You don't have to be Latino to love it."
