Mas Musica...

Man, you just gotta love lyrics like this:

She said, go on get out
go on get outta here
I’m tired of you coming home
smelling like whiskey, smoke and beer
Man she got mad
she made me drop the joint I had
And I don’t see why life has gotta be
so hard and sad,
so sad

Those lyrics are from the McKay Brothers’ song, Bandera Style—and man, you gotta go listen to this music! (Yes, in the teaser snippet of this tune on their site they say “she made me drop the drink [not joint] I had,” but I have the record and the “joint” is in there twice—including once when “she” smoked it!)



I’m sure lots of folks from the San Antonio/Austin part of Texas well know the McKay Brothers’ music, but I just recently discovered them (thanks to those fine folks who’ve been playing it on my favorite radio station, KEOS).

Bandera Style is from their latest album, Cold Beer & Hot Tamales. I like all of the songs on that album, but Acompañeme and Texas Heart, Mexican Soul are a couple of my other favorites on it. And while you’re at their web site, please don’t miss listening to Silicone Baby from the same album; I’m still laughing hardily over the words to that song—and I betcha it at least brings a grin to your face, too.

(By the way, I found their web site a little shaky today and I had to refresh my browser window a couple of times to get things showing and working correctly while I was mucking about there, but it was well worth this wee bit of inconvenience.)
