Linda Ronstadt brings it all back home on Canciones de mi Padre. Ronstadt’s first all-Spanish language album connects the iconic singer to her childhood in Arizona and her family’s roots in Sonora, Mexico. It quickly went double platinum, won a Grammy Award, and kicked off a series of Spanish-based records she’d release over the next five years. She puts her stamp on the rural-leaning repertoire and style of the mariachi that thrived in the 1930s and 40s. For these and many other reasons, the 1987 set — the biggest-selling non-English album in American history — became one of the most cherished works in her catalog.
Sourced from the original masters, mastered by engineer Krieg Wunderlich (assisted by Colby Gustafson), strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity’s 180g 33RPM LP of Canciones de mi Padre presents the album in audiophile sound. The lively production is revealed with extraordinary detail, depth, and clarity. Ronstadt’s wide-spanning range and phrasing come across with rich tonality and image with you-are-there accuracy. Ditto the various harmony vocal parts and contributions of the nine-person chorus. Suffice it to say the string, brass, and woodwind instruments that give Canciones de mi Padre such liveliness streak far, high, and wide across the soundstage. Nearly four decades removed from its original release, this cultural milestone remains undimmed.
