(4 out of 5 stars)

"You are going to get 36 songs interpreted by the resonant bass voice of this Sonoran singer. The music on this CD isn't particualarly historic - it mostly contains Spanish versions of Hollywood & Italian ballads from the 50's & 60's (The Shadow of Your Smile, Ebb Tide, Strangers in the Night, Bambina Bambina) - it does contain some Mexican standards performed in a memorable way such as a Jazz version of "Nocturnal" and the best versions of "Cuando Calienta el Sol, "Yo Sin Ti," & "Cuando Brilla la Luna." This music, while not particularly revolutionary, is much better than the tedious ballads of the 80's & 90's."
