Mais um precioso disco do início da carreira da rainha do xaxado. Como todos os discos que ele tem nos mandado, com uma ótima qualidade, garimpado com muito carinho e agora aqui, divulgando o melhor do forró, democráticamente, para todos. Achei um texto bacana sobre a Marinês, de Mauro Ferreira, extraído de seu Blog, Notas musicais. Segue um trecho dele: "Marinês começou a gravar discos em 1956. Em 1957, lançou dois sucessos de João do Valle, Peba na Pimenta e Pisa na Fulô. E, por conta das letras maliciosas, enfrentou problema com a Igreja. Foi adiante e gravou regularmente dos anos 50 aos 80 -- ainda que seu auge artístico (e comercial) tenha acontecido nas duas primeiras décadas. Primeira mulher a formar um grupo de forró, Marinês e sua Gente, a artista adicionou o Maria ao seu nome para driblar a proibição paterna e poder cantar na rádio. E, por obra e graça de um locutor menos atento, Maria Inês virou Marinês. E assim ela assinou seu nome do primeiro ao último disco, Marinês Canta a Paraíba, editado em 2005. Mais do que a Rainha do Xaxado ou a Rainha do Forró, Marinês reinou soberana entre sua gente. É um símbolo de uma era. Uma cultura. E, como tal, não morre jamais."
