Product Notes

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums on one CD. Leonardo "Flaco" Jiménez is a Norteño, Tex Mex and Tejano music accordionist and singer from San Antonio, Texas. He was born in 1939 and began performing at the age of seven, with his father, Santiago Jiménez Sr, who was a pioneer of conjunto music. Jimenez started recording aged fifteen as a member of Los Caminantes and played in the San Antonio area for several years before working with Doug Sahm in the 1960s. He then went to New York City where he worked with Dr. John, Ry Cooder and Bob Dylan and played on Cooder's world music album Chicken Skin Music. He also appeared on The Rolling Stones album Voodoo Lounge which led to greater awareness of his music outside America. The 1994 album Flaco Jimenez earned him a Grammy Award for Best Mexican-American Performance and he repeated the winning formula with the follow up Bueno Suerte, Senorita released in 1996.
