The last survivor from the Golden Age of Mexican ranchera, Vicente Fernandez has achieved the same stature as legendary singers such as Pedro Infante, Javier Solis, and Jorge Negrete. His thunderous voice is an ideal vehicle for expressing the pride, longing and passion inherent in classic Mexican songs such as "El Rey" and "Volver Volver." Musically, this 1997 recording finds Fernandez in top shape. His buoyant personality shines through from the very first track, a downright erotic version of "Nos Estorbo la Ropa," a famous Teodoro Bello composition telling the story of two lovers whose sensuous occupations manage to "turn winter into springtime." And in the fiery "Dime a Quien Le Rezas," he visits Spanish territory, adding flamenco inflections and dancing acoustic guitars. A tender love ballad, "Estatua de Marfil" finds Fernandez comparing the beauty of a woman to a refined ivory statue.
