Exitos Eternos

Frankie Ruiz, uno de los salsero mas cotizados de Puerto Rico y Latinoamerica regresa con una recopilacion muy bien escogida de exitos, y ademas de disfrutar del ultimo tema inedito que grabo antes de su muerte en Septiembre del 1998 "Que Siga La Fiesta". Ademas temas que ya han pasado a ser inmortales como "Mi Libertad" "Bailando" "Como Lo Hacen" "Esta Cobardia" "Quiero Llenarte" entre otros grandes exitos y ademas los videos en DVD. En fin gracias a Universal Latino, podemos seguir disfrutando de uno de los mejores salseros de todo los tiempos.

Frankie Ruiz is another musician we lost way too early in the game. Exitos Eternos contains his essence- from the mesmerizing (todo comenzó...)"Bailando" to the popular lovestruck "La Rueda" or the whimsically lovelorn "La Cura"(resulta más mala que la enfermedad). The entire CD makes for a great party: non-stop sabor, sandugueo, incredible dancing and wonderful memories. Any salsero is bound to love these tunes. Any fan of Puerto Rico, aún más.

I personally found the collection of songs to be great but lacking the punch that I've heard from Frankie Ruiz songs elsewhere in the past. The songs just sound too bland for my personal taste. Don't get me wrong Frankie is one of the all time great soneros, maybe the best of his genre of salsa romantica. Perhaps there is a live album out there that is holding the powder keg that I was looking for. I will keep looking. Anyone else have a good suggestion?
