Paco shares decade-spanning cover album, "Paco's Oldies, Vol. 3"
Putting even more wonderful music out into the world, you can’t help but feel great after listening to Paco’s latest, Paco’s Oldies, Vol. 3. Please read on for our full look at the record, as well as a background on the veteran artist as well.
8 albums and 175 songs later, Paco has continued to pursue his passion as a singer and entertainer. Putting together this record that he refers to as “cerebral comfort food” has ultimately been packed with covers from the likes of Elvis, Franki Valli, Celine Dion, and so many more. With his charismatic take on every song present, undoubtedly this album will have you smiling from ear to ear.
After a 37 year career in real estate, we’re thrilled that music has still been such a consistency in Paco’s life. His goal here is to help listeners find more joy and peace in their lives, and to be honest, he’s brought all of that to us in just one album. Coming in at 20 total tracks, spanning just under an hour, Paco and his seven member band of Berklee College of Music alumni have spanned decades of work in their own unique styles. Obviously the constant of it all is Paco and his signature vocals, but with the help of the band, it comes together as a complete package.
Kicking things off with a cover of Bill Haley & the Comet’s “Rock Around The Clock”, the fun doesn’t stop until the final moments on Dean Martin’s “You’re Nobody Until Somebody Loves You”. Some of these songs we haven’t heard in years, so not only was this a bit of a blast from the past, but these are legitimate covers that bring a whole new life and freshness to these timeless classics. If anything, it’s spurred us to want to explore the rest of Paco’s discography, because surely there has to be plenty of original gems hiding.
As this comes out right around the holiday time, we can think of no better record to put on at a family gathering or while decorating your house. Go ahead and check out the important links below in order to get listening and follow along with everything related to Paco. Enjoy!
