Johnny Rodriguez is without doubt the most successful Chicano country singer of all time, rising from the poverty of his hometown in Texas to the top of the country music world! His first hit came in 1972 with the Top 10 "Pass Me By (If You’re Only Passing Through)". Over the next five years, he had a hot streak of a dozen back-to-back Top 5 hits, including the #1 "Ridin’ My Thumb To Mexico". Lone Star Desperado includes all six of Rodriguez’s chart-topping classics, plus four more Top 10 country hits.
