These are hardly "songs" in the conventional sense, they're more like eccentric sketches that create haunting moods. The Latin Playboys bounce back and forth between scratchy traditional Latin music, free-associating blues numbers, and spaced-out honky tonk. Grounded in roots music, the lyrics and song structures are almost impressionistic in tone, creating an effect similar to listening to your car radio as stations drift in and out of reach while you drive along the Mexican border.
