Album Notes

Coming back after a 20-year hiatus The Krayolas broke onto the national scene in 2008/2009 with this CD. You've probably heard it on Little Steven's "Underground Garage" show on Sirius/XM. The "Catherine" cut has been getting three and four airings a day. All you NPR fans probably heard them live from San Antonio on Michael Feldman's "What Do You Know" show.

Most likely you've read the rave reviews. All of the major rock critics like Ben Fong-Torres and Dave Marsh, who gave The Krayolas an hour for a live set on his show have weighed in with kudos.

What all the hullabaloo about is the way The Krayolas have melded the Doug Sahm mix of Tex-Mex and blues with their own sensibilities. At the heart of "La Conquistadora" is Hector Saladana's songwriting, which is also getting a lot of notice.

And of course, there are those wonderful Beatle-like vocal harmonies.
