Recorded between July 20 & September 21, 1987. Following her commercially successful trilogy with Nelson Riddle, Linda Ronstadt once more lighted upon untested ground by recording this set of popular Mexican ballads and mariachis all dedicated to her dad. Fluent in Spanish, Ronstadt undeniably has the credentials and chops to tackle a project of this nature. And what a project it is, with full guitar-and-violin-laden orchestra on hand to accompany the singer. Singing in Spanish lends an unfamiliar, grainy timbre to Rondstadt's always powerful voice, allowing this archetypal baby boomer to sound like a grown-up at last, a quality which perhaps eluded her on the Riddle sessions which had their unmistakable air of dress-up, no matter how well executed.
