WHAT MUSIC IS ON YOUR BAJA PLAYLIST?

AmoPescar - 10-17-2011 at 01:16 PM

I just posted a fun music video of a song by the Zac Brown Band with Jimmy Buffett and it got me wondering....

WHO do you like to listen to when you're in Baja...on the way down...or at home to help you keep that Baja feeling??

SHARE some names and titles of your favorite group with us.

Maybe we'll find a new group or song that will become a favorite for us and end up on our playlist!

If you've got a link to the music or a music video you can add, that would be really cool too!!

My father was a big Marty Robbins fan. Every month heading down to San Quintin, as we descended those big hills towards Santo Tomas he would pop-in his Marty Robbins 8-track and the following are the beautiful sounds that would fill his pick-up truck.

Even today I still listen to Marty Robbins when I am on my way to Baja.

Love Joe Ely. Saw him in a small venue last year in Austin. Malaguena Salerosa is a classic! Carlos Nakai is great for that drive as well.

Afer I rethaught your ?, I realized I'm too amped up when
I cross into Mex to listen to anything, my ears get big,
the antenna goes up, my head is on a swivel, I'm
shouting at the wife to watch fro traffic on the right,
not until I get out away from everything do I tune
in a Mex station for Nortena Music.
El Paso, my favorite. Picked a song off BN ,Tommy Alverson
'Una Mas Cerveza', You Tube, George Strait 'Old Mexico', You Tube
Not exactly on my playlist, rather Mex reference

Isn't there some sand in the "video" .. song always gives a different "vibe" .. a unique performance as is the video ... IMHO

Honest Mistake

I'm unfamiliar with Mark Mulligan, but he gets a lot for his CD's...around 25 bucks.
To make matters worse, Amazon doesn't include sound samples of his songs.
Maybe I'll take a chance on his "Best Of...." if he has one.

Spearo,

If you have HBO check out the series Treme. It is set in New Orleans and have had both John Hiatt and Steve Earle on. Steve Earle actually is a character in the series. Great show for music lovers.
