Freddy Fender - In His Prime

Review by Olabode Oduwole

In His Prime, the album by Freddy Fender, is a perfect representation of the singer's talent and versatility. With his signature blend of country, rock, and Tejano music, Fender delivers a collection of songs that showcase his soulful voice and emotional depth.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Before the Next Teardrop Falls," which became Fender's biggest hit and a classic in the country music genre. The album also includes the heartfelt ballad "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights," which is another fan favorite.

Fender's ability to switch between English and Spanish is also showcased on the album, with tracks like "Vaya Con Dios" and "Secret Love" sung entirely in Spanish. The album also features covers of classic songs like "You'll Lose a Good Thing" and "Since I Met You Baby," which Fender puts his own spin on.
