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.
Anything by Los Lobos, Chris Isaak, Texas Tornados, Ryan Bingham, Lyle Lovett, Alejandro Escovedo, Calexico, Santana, Del Castillo, Flaco, Jimenez,
Latin Playboys, Linda Ronstadt cansiones, Los Super Seven, Ruben Blades, Ry Cooder.
Thanks tripledigitken - couple there had passed me by (Joe Ely). Can I add "Malaguena Salerosa" by Chingon - our anthem as we leave El Rosario and
enter real 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

That song always makes me smile and think of home!
And any other good reggue songs, Bob Marley, Godnwana, Los pericos, Caifanes, etc etc
Oh! And of course the immortal song with Jimmy Buffet "Escape" or the pina colada song! Love Love LOVE it!

Live life as well as you can,
don\'t regret the things that once made you smile,
learn from your mistakes,
and thank God for every second he gives you upon this earth.
I searched for "Baja Sessions" and found this clip.
My apologies to the purists.

As I turn off of highway 1 and onto the dirt road next to the army base, I like to listen to this tune as crack open the first one and sip my way to
San Quintin Bay (La Chorera).
