  • Description

    This unique compilation presents the very best of Freddy Fender's Spanish language recordings between 1957-1961, the first time that this body of work has been thus compiled. Much of this material is notoriously hard to find elsewhere on CD.

    Long before he became a Country Crossover superstar in the 1970s, Freddy Fender was a teenage rock & roll star in his native Mexico, under his real name, Baldemar Huerta.

    The very first Hispanic rock & roller, nicknamed "El Bebop Kid", he initially sang Spanish language cover versions of contemporaneous American rock & roll hits, before starting to write his own songs.

    He changed his stage name to "Freddy Fender" in 1959 in order to appeal to the US market - as he famously said, "To sell better with Gringos!" - at which point he began to record in English (see JASCD1072).

    After being busted in 1960 for a marijuana offence, he was incarcerated in Angola State Prison, Louisiana; whilst inside, he recorded an LP and several 45s as "Eddie Con Los Shades", and further Spanish language sides as Freddy Fender.
