Through Latin Twang Productions, San Antonio’s Rick Orozco and Flaco Jimenez have released a new Tejano cross country and western single.
Legendary country music singer Conway Twitty once said, a good country song takes a page out of somebody’s life and puts it to music. These insightful words are the inspiration for Rick Orozco and Flaco Jimenez, who have turned singer Rick’s painful experience with loss into an incredibly moving musical portrayal of family and grief.
Their new country and western ballad is called ‘A Man’s Best Friend Is Time’ and you can now listen to it on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music. The composition channels the mixed musical heritage of singer-songwriter Rick Orozco and of legendary accordionist Flaco Jimenez. It is infused with the melancholy heartbreak of country music and the warm, passionate tones of traditional Spanish folk music.

To accompany this heartfelt lyrical journey, the two performers have crafted a slow and moody ballad which features Orozco’s quintessential evocative guitarwork and Flaco’s iconic accordion.
