What a beautiful, moving and great sounding album this is. Jimenez (his friends call him Chief, according to the liner notes) plays great accordian and sings the border songs that he has revitalized, learned from his father in the old-time tradition. It is so great to hear the loose interdependent textures of this music. One can really get a sense of small-town celebrations untouched by the pervasive influence of contemporary American pop. The recording is so wonderfully full that the shifting dynamics through these tracks convey the immediacy of the playing even more. Some terrific tracks are "La Nopalera" (a polka) and "Prisaonero en Tus Brazos" (a ranchero).
