Having grown up in Mexico these are the songs I remember played the way I remember them. If you like it straight without unnecessary embellishment by the artists in a clean recording I would get this album in a heartbeat or drumbeat as the case may be. There are a couple of famous sons missing but they cover 80% which is more than most. I am not an audiophile but if you just want to listen to some good mariachi and recognize some songs go for it.
