Four masterful instrumentalists—Grammy-anointed bajo sexto player Max Baca, accordionist and Tropa F alumnus David Farías, conjunto tejano veteran bassist Óscar García, and multi-instrumentalist Lorenzo Martínez on drums—breathe new life into the century-old music of the Texas Rio Grande Valley.

2018 - inkl. 40-seitigem Booklet mit zweisprachigen Linernotes - Bajo sexto master Max Baca, who cut his teeth with the hit-making, crossover band The Texas Tornados, founded Los Texmaniacs in 1997. He sought to form a group that espoused the traditions of Tejano music he grew up with and combined them with elements of blues, rock, country and jazz. Smithsonian Folkways Recordings is proud to release 'Cruzando Borders' from the GRAMMY Award-winning conjunto group Los Texmaniacs, including dynamic feature performances from fellow GRAMMY winners Lyle Lovett, Rick Fuentes and Rick Treviño.

This album is part of the Smithsonian Folkways Tradiciones/Traditions Series of Latino music albums, produced with support by the Smithsonian Latino Center. San Antonio, Laredo, El Paso, Corpus Christi, Seguín, and other Texas towns inspired this second Smithsonian Folkways recording of “hardcore conjunto” music by the spunky and spirited GRAMMY-winning group Los Texmaniacs. Their signature sound comes from deep within the heart of Texan tradition, while Max Baca’s bajo sexto and David Farías’s accordion playfully break new creative ground. Multi-instrumentalists Óscar García and Lorenzo Martínez complete the quartet, with guest cameos by Western Swing singer Ray Benson and Jason Roberts of Asleep at the Wheel, and Texas Western Swing Hall of Fame fiddler Bobby Flores.

2017 - Featuring the songs of Jimmy C Newman with Joel Savoy, Keli Jones, Caleb Klauder and Reeb Willms. Joined by Russ Blake on pedal Steel, Ned Folkerth on drums, Gary Newman on Bass.There was a time in south Louisiana that the name Jimmy C Newman was spoken with an almost god-like reverence - a young singer from Mamou had made it to the big time and the locals could not have been more pro ud to tell folks that the C stood for Cajun. 

1990 - Die Musik von Jo-El Sonnier ist eine Lebenseinstellung. Voller Leidenschaft, unermüdlich seinem Handwerk verpflichtet … nimmt er einen bedeutenden Platz in der reichen Kunstlandschaft seines Landes ein. “Cajun Roots“ ist ein Beweis für seinen einzigartigen Stil und seine Kunstfertigkeit und enthält neben eigenen Songs auch Versionen anderer Cajun-Standards u.a. von  Iry LeJeune…

2022 - A hugely prolific recording artist, Al Terry is chiefly remembered for his signature hit GOOD DEAL, LUCILLE, and the handful of Hillbilly and neo-Rockabilly sides he cut for Hickory Records in the mid-50s. However, during the 1950s he also cut Honky-Tonk, mainstream Country and Nashville Countrypolitan sides, occasionally duetting with Wilma Lee, and Rusty & Doug Kershaw. This compilation presents a Very Best Of Al's output between 1952-1962, across four different record labels, and includes his celebrated R&R-styled 1958 re-cut of GOOD DEAL, LUCILLE and the rockin' WATCH DOG.

2007 - “Hickory’s Cajun Hillbilly” (Best of Hickory Recordings & More) is the first ever CD compilation of Al’s best Hickory sides, with an emphasis on upbeat recordings that also highlight the prowess of some of the finest pickers in 1950s Nashville, including Chet Atkins and Terry’s steel playing brother Charles (known as Bob). Bob Terry wrote many of the best tracks on this collection.
