Greatest Hits in Bloomington, MN

Freddy Fender
's
Greatest Hits
collects 25 recordings made for
Crazy Cajun Records
in the mid-'70s. Taking the advice of
Huey P. Meaux
, the owner of the Houston-based
Crazy Cajun
label,
Fender
recorded
country
material that maintained a slight
Tex-Mex
feel. The winning combination resulted in many of the memorable crossover
country-pop
tunes of the era, including the hit singles
"Before the Next Teardrop Falls"
and
"Wasted Days and Wasted Nights."
They still sound fresh today. ~ Al Campbell
