Mas Canciones is an album by Linda Ronstadt released in 1991.

"Mas Canciones" was released four years after the release of her first Mexican album, "Canciones de Mi Padre". [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D0CE1DB1238F937A35751C1A967958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all The New York Times] Article by Stephen Holden: 04 December 1991]

"The reason I did it is selfish," Ronstadt said in an interview. "I had started to make a record in English, but I didn't like it and put it away. I found myself sleeping and dreaming in Spanish, and these songs were driving me crazy. I kept waking up in the middle of the night thinking that the musicians who know this music are old, and if they go I won't have anybody to help me do it. I didn't dare put it off another minute."

The album, according to Ronstadt, "concentrated more on trio and ensemble singing than did its predecessor." For the vocal trios, Ronstandt was joined by her two brothers, Pete and Mike. Pete Ronstadt at the time was the chief of police in Tucson, Arizona, where Mike owned a hardware store. Except for the professional guitar-playing, Ronstadt said, the arrangements are the same as those they sang in the living room when they were growing up.
