Review

Global Rhythm (Publication) (p.47) - "[W]hat really made her stand out, from her earliest days until the end, was the pure emotion and drama she brought to the often sensationalized tales her songs embodied."

Title Note

An American music legend on a par with Robert Johnson and the Carter Family, Lydia Mendoza was the undisputed Queen of Tejano and a pioneering figure in the music industry as both a Mexican-American performer and a female instrumentalist. With an expressively lyrical voice tinged with anguish--her Spanish nickname "La Alondra de la Frontera" means "the Lark of the Border"--and a florid mastery of her 12-string guitar, Mendoza interpreted more than a thousand boleros, tangos, rancheras, and corridos over five decades of recording.

Arhoolie compiles the best of her career on this collection and it's easily the best introduction to the Texas legend. Starting with her first and biggest hit--"Mal Hombre"--and ending with "Pero Ay Que Triste" from a session recorded in 1982 by Chris Strachwitz, the Arhoolie president, the disc also includes a 40-page booklet with extensive notes by Strachwitz, photos, and lyrics in Spanish and English.
