Alive and kicking from the start with the Cali Mex sound (west coast cousin of Tex Mex). The first track, Educated Fool, features legendary guitarist Kid Ramos with a driving rhythm guitar and the trade mark accordion played by Jesus Cuevas. The band mix the present and past evoking memories of the 1950’s, e.g the ballad Crazy Baby and the Llyod Price classic Just Because. Other numbers give you a feeling of holidays in the sun with the Mexican influence on Un Mojado Sin Licencia and Como Un Perro. Stand out tracks are the intense Day By Day which rocks along dual guitar and accordion lines and the instrumental Burnin’ the Chicken, with smoking guitar! Might not be blues as we know it but this is superbly good time and the title of the last track sums up the style – Mexico Americano. Let’s get some sun and party.
