As promised, I give you…
THE BEST MARIACHI ALBUM COVERS
“Hey Muchachos! Before the wedding party gets here, line up behind those tables so I can take your picture…”
Ok. A few things.
First of all, there is nothing about this album cover that makes me think mariachi, except that the word mariachi is on it.
Second, “Mariachi Rock”? Really? Is that a real thing?
Third, I think they stole that picture from Butterick.
I’m trying to understand this cover. All I know is Mariachi dude is about to get whipped in the face by vaquero dude.
This picture was taken back in the day when the film would get double exposed. Jose first took a picture of that globe, then the next shot in the roll was of Walt Disney with his guitar, harp, and other guitar neck. They ended up mixed together, but Jose thought it looked “global artsy.”
What’s happening in the white suit area…. especially the one on the left. Looks like he’s trying to keep his hat strap on with his lower lip. How about the guy on the far left in the black suit…. I think he’s about to strike the Santa “Ho, ho, ho!” pose.
This is what the band looks like after a little too much mariachi partying…
Is he trying to disguise his horse-rider’s permanent bow-legs?
“Hallo, my name es Vicente and I have the best sombrero in Mehico. All the señoras love my matching orange sash-tie.”
