Barbacoa Blues ReviewI sought out this album after hearing the title song. The album "Barbacoa Blues" principally features the vocals and guitar of Randy Garibay, along with a band that includes skillful keyboard, drums, brass, Saxophone, etc. The album includes an Hispanic twist on traditional blues and rock music. Randy's vocals and guitar are great. I must admit that I am surprised that this is a regional singer as the music is definitely national with a Spanish emphasis that may be pleasing to the Latino and traditional Blues fans.
"Chicano Blues Man" is more or less typical blues.
"Barbacoa Blues" is a classical blues tale based upon the local San Antonio barrio search for barbacoa, a Mexican weekend specialty breakfast taco and Big Red, a traditional red soft drink beverage. This is a humorous tune that is especially interesting due to my recognition of the geographical landmarks included in this tune.
As far as I am aware, "Barbacoa Blues" was the first Randy Garibay tune that I heard on a jukebox and made me search for the CD. I first heard the tune in a barrio cantina where "blues" is not typically among the songs of choice. Trust me when I say that I found this to be an especially novel number.
"Too Close to the Border" is an upbeat blues melody with a Tex-Mex theme while noting that he does not do "Tejano"! "What did you Think" is a mellow country-style ballad that is very pleasing. "What Did You Think" features a 50's rock-a-billy sound. "I Can't Stop Loving You" is an upbeat 50's ish blues tune. Viuda Negra is a late 70's or 80's ish blues tune with lot's of pleasing guitar. "Two Steps from the Blues" is a slower ballad featuring the vocals of John Brown. "El Chupacabra" is a nice salsa-like Latino number. "Tell Me Why" is a 50's or early `60's-like soft rock broken-hearted love number. "Curandera" is very 80's blues with a sort of Spanish "Stevie-Ray-Vaughn" sound.
When I found the CD Barbacoa Blues, I found another Randy Gariby CD titled "Chicano Blues Man" and felt that I would likely miss something if I did not buy both. I think that you will enjoy "Barbacoa Blues" and this artist, Tandy Gariby for quite some time.
John Summerfield, Houston, TexasBarbacoa Blues Overview"Barbacoa Blues", the most recent CD of Chicano blues man Randy Garibay has been described as "at once solidly traditional and refreshingly out of the ordinary."Produced by Randy Garibay and Jim Waller, the CD showcases Garibay's soulful voice, which many compare to Bobby Blue Bland, his equally impressive guitar playing, and his creative songwriting.Eight of the ten tracks are originals by Garibay and five of his originals ("Chicano Blues Man", "Barbacoa Blues", "Too Close to the Border", "Viuda Negra" and "Curandera") are in Garibay's hallmark style of Chicano Blues--horn-driven R&B delivered with sometimes bilingual lyrics and born of his South Texas Chicano experience.The CD also includes a beautiful original country song ("What Did You Think"), an original salsa ("El Chupacabra"), an oldies style original ("Tell Me Why") and two classic cover songs--traditional blues song "Two Steps from the Blues" and the jazzy "I Can't Stop Loving You Baby".
