During the early 1990's, when the now-famous Austin music scene was still kn its infancy, Water f <• melon records issued records from mostly unknown Texas artists, with emphasis on roots country and nxrk, wit h some border music thrown into the mix for good measure. With the connec­ tions to local musicians, the label soon began to ’ court artists like Don Walser, Santiago [iminez (the brother of the famous accordian player Flaco Jiminez), and the Derailers. The label hasn't printed many of the seminal records by these artists in a few years, and with roots music gaining populari­ ty in the wake of the surprise success of the sound­ track to "O, Brother, Where art Thou/' it seemed % X time to make the old albums available again. Since 0 « these albums are not well known even by fans, and were out of print until about a month ago, they t 1 might as well be new. Like the discoverery of early V w Elvis recordings, or a piece of Rachmaninoff sheet music lc»st for 90 years, th«y will delight conniseurs and new initiates alike. i | • | ~ -Nick Resembling 50s rockers but staying true to their country roots, The Derailers' debut album, Jackpot, is an fun-filled mix of rock anc^ roll tracks and upbeat country tunes. A band since the early 90s, The Derailers are Tony O. Villanueva, Brian Hofeldt and Vic Gerard. Jackpot proves to be a success with steady, comedic lyrics such as "As I walk thn>ugh our living-room-turned -battlefield/ I seek pardon for my part in this ol' war." They sing about the usual struggles of Jove and relationships, but their lyrics an* anything but trite; instead, they express heartfelt desires and emotions while seeming to take life with a grain of salt. The typical country twang is missing and replaced with a melodic voice, mak­ ing both country fans and non-country fans alike appreciate their simplistic, yet honest music. The talent of the band is evident in Hofeldt's skillful guitar work and Villanueva's lead vocals. Rock and roll fans will especially enjoy "She left me cold/' a song hardly discemable as having anv country background. -Sally A deep voice and eloquent lyrics characterize Tish Hinojosa's second album "Taos to Tennessee," first released in 1992. Hinojosa blends an appreciation of her Mexican roots and American upbringing, singing such lines as "Times are fast, dreams move slow/ Nashville and New Mexico's the same." Half of the songs on this album, as well as her other two albums, Aquella Noche and The Best of the Sandria, are performed in Spanish. Many of her songs express admiration for nature and its elements. More folk than country, Taos to Tennessee reflects on a life filled with "self-preservation" and constant, yet unyielding love. Especially enjoyable are the melodic tunes "Prairie Moon" and "Crazy Wind and Flashing Yellows," two songs in which Hinojosa reveals her minor voice. This album is for anyone needing a soothing voice on a lonely night. * . -Sally Dubbed "the Pavarotti of the Plains" by Playboy magazine, Don Wasler is a true country singer in the old style. In his album Rolling Stone from Texas, he croons his way to the top by y ode ling and stretching the limits of his vocal capabilities. His songs are funny, innocent and sweet. He reiterates country stereotypes, sounding cheesy but-also captivating. "Shotgun Boogie" is a song about a trigger-happy cowboy who can't get enough of shooting squirrels. One only need to imagine the vibrant world created by his twelve tracks: a life "down at the cantina," free of worries, and filled with tractors and playboy^. Though most of his songs are carefree, a couple of his songs are love songs where his y ode ling voice really shines through. Wasler proves himself an affable cowboy with a few stories to tell. -Sally « I Tish Hinojosa's Aquella Noche, sung entirely in Spanish, is an enchanting collection of ballads in It I th« style of northern Mexico, flavored heavily by her San Antonio upbringing. C)n this album, she trades in her Texas cowgirl image for a tribute to the music of her parents. Particularly enthralling is her haunting version of the traditional "La Uorona," which swirls the softly picked guitar together with her voice in a manner which simotaneously evokes the coldness of the night by the riverbed and the warmpth of emotion inherent in the lyrics. Another cut that stands out is "Cumbia, Polka y Mas," on which Hinojosa steps out of the ballads of the rest of the album to visit other Tex-Mex musical styles. Her voice handles the change well, while she playfully sings the lyrics which bring to mind some late-night barbecue in the early '60s where a young 0 3 * 3 2 Flaco Jiminez and his band would play all night, in all styles. This record truly deserves the re-issue. -Nick R o l l i n g S fon e irom Texas Payc 4 in 2002
