Review

Practically BRAND NEW condition, includes original CD, case, and paperwork, fast shipping, ask me for my CD List! :);Aztex are co-led by the husband-and-wife team of accordionist Joel Guzman and vocalist Sarah Fox, both respected veterans of Texas's regional Tejano industry. The band's debut album was produced by Los Lobos' Steve Berlin, who worked with Guzman and Fox on 1998's Grammy-winning Los Super Seven album. (That was Guzman playing all the accordion parts except for those songs featuring Flaco Jimenez.) Short Stories eschews modern Tejano clichés in favor of deep folk roots and crossover dreams. Fox shines on a version of Lydia Mendoza's 1947 classic "La Jaibera," while Guzman's solo on the traditional "Pajarrillo Barranqueno" solidifies his growing reputation as the best conjunto accordionist in Texas. Joe Ely trades harmony with Fox on a salsafied arrangement of his "Maybe, Maybe," and Guzman shows off some jazzy piano licks on the mambo "Why Don't You Love Me?" The band stumbles slightly on a couple of rock originals, but what Aztex do well, no one does better. --Rick Mitchell
