"Flaco Jimenez has always been a pioneer in the world of Conjunto and Tejano music with his incredible musicianship and unique stylings .He is famous for blending the traditional Tex-Mex and Tejano style music by adding flavors of country and Rock and Roll guitar. This, together with his talking accordion, creates a new sound of music. Flaco's newest album "Squeeze Box King" , which he produced himself, is no different. There are very traditional sounding songs such as "En El Cielo No Hay Cervaza" which has a polka-like beat and a very strong accordion sound. Other tracks such as "La Rosa Negra" and "Soy Romantico" mix in more of a country flavored guitar sound with Flaco's traditional accordion sound. With such ingenious musical stylings it is no wonder that Flaco Jimenez has established himself as an icon in the world of Tex-Mex and Tejano music. I highly recommend this album to any Flaco fans or any one who is a fan of Tex-Mex and Tejano music."
