Billy Bacon & Forbidden Pigs "Una Mas Cerveza" 1991 - R.I.P. Billy Bacon

Excellent Texmexbluesabilly from the second wave of L.A./San Diego roots rockers. Basically a continuation of the Los Lobos, Dwight, X, Blasters and Beat Farmers tradition. (Billy K)
"I wanna do some sprayin' in chilean, know what I'm sayin'. The movie riders on the storm was my favorite movie of all time. When I was carvin' feilds of fresh pow, I was singin' "Morenta Mia" in my head. When I finally found this song I was soooooooooo stoked, it was unreal. The next time I ride I'll be carvin' sick pow while listening to "Morenta Mia"." from amazonBilly K said... R.I.P. Billy Bacon.
From my friend...
Utterly sad news today and that is my dear friend Billy Bacon has gone on to play the big concert in the sky. For those of us that had the pleasure to be his friend or to see him perform over the years, he will be sorely missed. He was a true triple threat: a great songwriter, singer and musician. Sometimes overlooked, and certainly underrated by this crazy music business of ours that tends to rely too often on image versus substance. Never the less, Billy was able to put out over a dozen records and tour countless miles over the past 35 years.
Even with failing health he most recently put out another gem titled "High, Wide & Handsome" where he recorded and performed nearly every instrument on the album. Blessed with a good sense of humor to match his musical prowess, his shows were always entertaining, as he was the ultimate showman, and afterwards at the bar there were plenty of shenanigans too.
Please do yourself a favor and google Billy Bacon and the Forbidden Pigs and listen to his music, you won't be disappointed. Here's a demo of great song off his last album titled "Toe to Toe." Billy was a tough Irish kid from a family of twelve siblings, who never gave up even when the cards were stacked against him. You put up a good fight Billy, and all these tears are for you brother!
