Flaco Jimenez - Arriba el Norte!

Flaco Jimenez is a true Texas legend and favorite, and his celebrity is a little understated.  From San Antonio, Texas, son of the great conjunto musician Santiago Jiminez Sr., he has played with artists ranging from Freddy Fender to Bob Dylan to even being featured in the Woody Allen film Picking Up the Pieces.  His sweeping diatonic button accordion lines and deep bellied vocal vibrato meld together in beautiful harmony as he sings his corridos and canciones.  You can probably also recognize him from the mural right next to the Continental Club in Houston, Texas.  People say the Texas music scene doesn't exist but they are talking about such a narrow scope of music.  Enjoy!
