about

Martin Solis is part of a seldom seen echelon of artists who released
no records in their lifetime and still was inducted into the Tejano Music Hall of Fame. The power of
his live performances and trailblazing creativity in blending styles with educated nuance gave him
significant credit among peers and critics alike. This power, coupled with the intrigue of Tejano music
thriving so far north of the Rio Grande, has made his 2018 induction into the Tejano ROOTS Hall of
Fame—previous inductees of which include pioneers such as Narciso Martinez, El Conjunto Bernal,
Beto Villa and Tejano superstars like Selena—that much more special and rare and puts Mr. Solis
soundly in a class of his own.
Mr. Solis sadly passed the year after he was inducted into the Hall of Fame, but it was during this time
that Solis’s son Frank discovered a grocery bag containing forgotten reel-to-reel tapes of his father’s
home-recorded music while helping declutter his attic. Frank took the tapes to his childhood friend (and
production manager at Third Man Pressing) Eddie Gillis. Gillis, who was impressed with the recordings
and quality of the preserved tapes, shared them with the team at Third Man. It became quickly apparent
that this document of music was an historic artifact that needed to be heard. Amazingly, while still with
us, Solis was able to finally hear and hold the legacy of his music on vinyl, as his test pressings were
delivered for final review.
As a natural fit with Third Man’s broad interest in the preservation of music history, Third Man
Records is humbled to release the first ever recordings of Tejano pioneer Martin Solis.

This could’ve been my album of the year if I’d noticed it. Hell. 2020, feeling like shit and then this musical balm appears. Live recording on one mic. Just bass and harp. Awesome. It swings like a pendulum do! Big shout out for Dezron’s love of coffee. I now have 2 of his albums and he’s proselytising on behalf of coffee on both. Damn right ☕️ Crinklechips
