Product Description 12-track best of collection, originally released in 1977. Universal. .com The Best of Freddy Fender opens with "Before the Next Teardrop Falls," the 1975 track that helped the Texas balladeer cross over to country stardom. Indeed, it then took him onto the pop charts. Fender, whose profile has risen again as a member of the Texas Tornadoes, is truly a singular singer. Part of the fun of this collection, though, lies in checking out producer Huey P. Maeux's efforts to keep Fender commercial after his first No. 1 country hit. Take "Livin' It Down," which in 1976 climbed to No. 2 on the country charts. Here you have a guy with mariachi roots wrapped in an arrangement that sounds like it was borrowed from Bread, all for the delectation of Urban Cowboys. How--accommodating! Here's evidence that '70s countrypolitan wasn't so bad after all. --Steven Stolder

Fun listening
To tell the truth, although I like some of Freddy Fender, I bought this for my husband and he really likes it; therefore, the rating is his. I like all types of music from Grand Opera to Bluegrass, but my husband so loves his Country/Western, 50's, and Bluegrass, that I limit my own listening to the rest of the genres. In the car or the main part of the house, he listens to tapes, radio, old records and CDs of his music and as I work or live in that part of the house I gladly listen to it. But in my large craft room while I'm sewing, crafting or working I listen to my music.
