About Flaco Jimenez

Few if any artists in conjunto and Tejano music have received the level of critical acclaim Flaco Jimenéz has enjoyed over the course of a career that's spanned seven decades. It's certain that no one has taken the accordion-driven Tex-Mex sound to a larger audience than he has. Without compromising his musical vision, Jimenéz has introduced the traditional conjunto sound to mainstream pop and country listeners thanks to his collaborations with the Texas Tornados, Dwight Yoakam, and the Mavericks. He is celebrated by rock fans due to his work with Ry Cooder, Carlos Santana, Doug Sahm, and the Rolling Stones. ~ Mark Deming
