Vicente Fernandez

If one word comes to mind listening to Vicente Fernandez's first acoustic recording, it's "juicy." The crowd is adoring, the music ample, and Fernandez, ensconced at his ranch with a full band, sounds like he's having the time of his life. It's impossible not to be swept up by the spirit, the sheer atmosphere as he swashbuckles through decades of classics, acting by turns the tender gentleman and the spurned lover, caressing and commanding the lyrics as needed. A new essential from the greatest living mariachi singer.
