Linda Ronstadt Connects with Her Familial Roots on the Double-Platinum Canciones de mi Padre: Mariachi and Ranchera-Based Album Is in the Grammy Hall of Fame, Features Beautiful Production by Peter Asher and Rubén FuentesExperience the 1987 Record in Audiophile Sound: Strictly Limited to 3,000 Numbered Copies, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM LP Plays with Wondrous Detail, Clarity, and WarmthLinda 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 it's original release, this cultural milestone remains undimmed.Mitsubishi X-86 16-bit / 48kHz digital master to analog console to latheNumbered 180g 33RPM Vinyl LPLIMITED EDITION OF 3,000
