Details
[Edit]At a time when the New York club scene was dominated by the remnants of punk and quirky power pop of Devo and the B-52s, Joe "King" Carrasco, whose music complemented those styles, constituted comic relief. He would sweep on in his crown and cape and play Farfisa organ-based mid-'60s-style Tex-Mex rock & roll. Carrasco was a delightful club act, but inevitably, that didn't translate adequately to vinyl. Nevertheless, this, his first national release, made a brave attempt, and even if you couldn't have Joe jumping on your table at home, a song like "C**a de Vaca" was bound to raise a smile. (This album was released originally by Stiff Records in the U.K. with a slightly different track listing.)
