the oldschool sound has definitely got to stay, but come on create some new songs, instead of doing the same songs over and over. New freshly written songs are what the market needs.
: What part of "I was disappointed in the
: song selection" did you not understand?
: Reviving the old school tejano sound is fine
: with me. I hope the day never comes when
: bands like Bandango, Los Cruizers and Eddie
: Perez & The Westside Band etc. are no
: longer trying to keep it alive. Marty B. In

: Well, here's my opinion. Instead of buying
: this cd, get out your Old Sunny Ozuna and
: Tierra Tejana albums and you'll have most of
: the songs on this cd. I was disappointed in
: the song selection. Nothing new or fresh,
: sure Bob's production and engineering was
: 1st class. Isn't it always? This cd tells me
: that Little Joe has decided to live off his
: past. I'll crank up my old Little Joe
: albums, too remind me of the days when he
: was a pioneer and not a follower. Marty B.

: Little Joe is back! This is the best CD of
: the year to me. Puro old school in 2005.
: Heavy brass with that happy beat that makes
: one want to dance and throw a grito. Thank
: you Little Joe y La Familia and Bob Gallarza
: for La Onda Chicana at it's best!

: Marty, I think you way off. I heard an
: interview with Bob Gallarza today on Bnet
: radio. He was saying that Little Joe wanted
: to revive that old school sound but at the
: same time give it a new twist. After all
: don't we sit here and post messages about
: the old school sound? Let's face it, other
: than Jimmy Gonzales who else has come up
: with anything new or refreshing? I don't
: know where you live but here in San Antonio,
: on KXTN, they have not updated thier
: playlist since the late 80s early 90s!!
: Hell, they are still playing music from
: Xecelencia, Gary Hobbs, and other washed up
: groups. You don't hear any of the live CD
: Little Joe recorded at Fiesta Texas(here is
: San Antonio), which by the way had load of
: new material, or the new Cd from Adalberto,
: or upcoming groups like Avizzo band, Latin
: Express or anyone new for that matter. I
: think what Little Joe and Bob Gallarza were
: trying to do was take Tejano back to it's
: roots when it was called Chicano music and
: revive the sound we all know. This is the
: same pioneering spirit Little Joe showed
: backed in the early years.
