Los Rancheros- Mexican Cowboy Songs (Decca, 1950)

This 1950's cowboy trio sound something like a dynamic Mexican equivalent to the Sons of the Pioneers. Los Rancheros had originally been named Los Tres Murciélagos ("The Three Bats"), but that apparently got canned once they started touring Los Estados Unidos, since it was too much of a "tongue-twister" for gringo audiences. This good stuff. Cool harmonies. 320 vinyl rip by yours truly. Los Rancheros- Las Canastas by Dingus Download: Los Rancheros- Mexican Cowboy Songs (Decca, 1950) DL 5221 Tracklist: 1.
