EXPERT RATING:

From AMG Reviews

Not your standard album release, but a theme recording, this is a collection of border songs sung in Spanish, some written by Tish Hinojosa and some by others. The inspiration for this collection was her apprenticeship with Don Americo Paredes, the anthropologist, border historian, and professor emeritus at the University of Texas at Austin. Hinojosa writes: "In a series of sessions...I listened and enriched my soul with 'corridos' (ballads that tell stories, news, or history), love songs, and anecdotes of the borderland where he was raised and where my family's roots lie deeply embedded. These sessions continue still and the knowledge I receive is a precious resource from which I'll always draw." A number of these songs involve assistance from the likes of Flaco Jimenez, Ray Benson, Peter Rowan, and others. This makes for enjoyable listening, but is not the creative and fiery Hinojosa on an album like Culture Swing.
