HIS FIRST GUITAR WAS A SARDINE CAN, A LENGTH OF WIRE, AND SCRAPS OF WOOD.Before anyone knew the name Freddy Fender, he was Baldemar Huerta, born in San Benito, Texas, to a family that went wherever the harvest went. They picked beets in Michigan and cucumbers in Indiana, tomatoes and hay in Ohio, cotton in Arkansas, onions in New Mexico, then turned back toward Texas hoping the money would last until Christmas. He usually got home two months after school started.What stayed with him was the sound. He worked beside Black field hands who sang blues and gospel while they worked, and his family later wrote that it reached the core of him. Hank Williams and Ernest Tubb came off the truck radio, and boleros and rancheras came from home and from the stations across the river. He was assembling a voice years before he had any use for one.By 1974 he was still only a part-time musician when a producer asked him to sing over an instrumental track, and he put a full verse and chorus of it in Spanish. “The recording only took a few minutes,” he said later, figuring that was the end of it. “Before the Next Teardrop Falls” went No. 1 on the country chart in March 1975 and No. 1 on the pop chart that May. In 2025 the Library of Congress placed that recording in the National Recording Registry — kept for good, beet fields and cotton rows and all. – Country Music
