"Aceves Mejia has terrific voice and this album has some of the most wonderful mariachi selections. If you like mariachi, don't pass on this one. This guy is the best huapangero that has ever lived. I'm a cantancorous cuss that hates sappy music but literally swoon over his cielo rojo or el pastor or virgencita de za..hell, all of them are great and I don't understand why the whole world doesn't know him better than Sinatra."

"As a boy in New York City, I went to the Spanish language Movies twice a week.I heard and saw the most famous of all the singing mexican Mariachi (Vaqueros), Pedro Vargas, Pedro Infante, jorge Negrete, and Tony Aguilar, but none could transmit the soul and passion for their songs like Aceves Mejia. his voice flowed from octave to octave without interruption. what ever the story in the song I did'nt just hear it, I felt it. I highly recommend this album to all of the incurable romantics, like myself."

"A Nadie conoceran con mejor falcete que Miguel Aceves. Les recomiendo este disco por tener el mayor numero de canciones con falcete. Todas las conciones del disco son buenas pero por lejos mis dos preferidas son la Malagueña y El Pastor. Que sentimiento les pone.Compren el disco y no se arrepentiran."
A glorious classic

"I've loved this marvelous singer since childhood, but as I age my appreciation deepens for this incredible music. Few songs are as beautiful as "El Crucifijo de Piedra", and sung with as much soul. His "Malagueña" is a total delight, as are "Rogaciamo", "Tata Dios", and many more.I'm not certain when exactly these were recorded...I first heard most of them in the 50's, and though the sound may be "old", this CD more than makes up for it in the sheer loveliness of the melodies and interpretation.If you like Mexican music, Miguel Aceves Mejia is a must in your collection, and this is an excellent compilation of this extraordinary singer and his great songs."
