This review is from: 100 Clasicas 2 (Audio CD)
...Jose Alfredo Jimenez sigue siendo El Rey de la musica ranchera Mexicana. Volumen ll de Las 100 Calsicas tiene CINCUENTA pedasos de la historia de la musica foklorica de Mexico. Comenzando con el clasico "El Rey" y terminando con "Gracias" aqui tienes canciones grabado con los maestros El Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan. Originales grabaciones desde 1961 hasta 1972 es increible que un hombre podria ser el compositor de tantas temas. Todas las temas son clasico Jose Alfredo incluyendo sus temas familares como amores perdidos, Dios, gallos ,caballos, machos, damas machistas, balazos, las parandas, la nostalgia, la mala suerte, trizteza, alegria, el rancho, el orgullo de ser Mexicano, las ciudades hermosas de Mexico, en breve toda sobre la vida incluyendo la muerte, todo como una autografia.

el jefe de jefes,
January 1, 2006 Jose Gonzalez "jose gonzalez" (san diego califasztlan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 100 Clasicas 2 (Audio CD)
This man was and is simply true genius. His songs evoke such emotion and inspiration, that the simple thought of his lyrics wiil leave your toungue tasting like agave. Yes this man based his music on tequila women and real life stories. I have had the pleasure to listen to this one of a king composer and singer since childhood. My mom tells me stories of she as a child, personally being able to witness one of his concerts in
Tijuana Mexico. To any person who is just starting to listen to this man, hold on to your seat, because he will take you on a spiritual and emotional journey through the heart and soul of Mexico.!!!!

If you are new to Mexican music you should definitely get to know Jose Alfredo Jimenez. They do not make singers and composers like Jose Alfredo anymore. The sentiments that Jose Alfredo emotes in his music transcend race and gender. I often hear other musicians play some of his songs in restaurants or parties, but it is never the same. If you've listened to the original renditions by Jose Alfredo, you know what I mean. Too bad he left us too soon.
