Ex pro skater/artist and all round geezah Tommy cooks up a great lo-fi taco with a latino hip-hop funky jazz beats kinda filling and sweet melodic guitar sauce, mostly instrumental with guest spot from Quannum MC Lyrics Born on one - great stuff...

Goes well with everything
This makes swell unobtrusive background music, useful for instilling a general sense of mellow jazzy grooviness to any interpersonal activity. If you're having a get-together, and you don't know what to play on the stereo, you need this disc.
Bones Brigade rides again
Tommy Guerrero was under my radar until about three years ago and I heard some cuts at a friends house. The ex-pro skater had me hooked from then on. Definitely a Latin chill vibe but with lots of ,well, soul, hey, why not name the album "Soul Food Taqueria," nevermind. Anyway the music is way cool, perfect for summer days sitting under the shade of a tree with a nice cool one. Guerrero remarkably plays a pretty nice guitar(isn't it unfair when people have so much talent?), knows a thing or two about mix'n and writing music and the result shines on this chill out CD. The mood created by this disc is pure chill, cool dowwntempo to bring your pulse in check. Guerrero throws in some dub factor, like on "Tatanka," that features his groovy guitar picks. The vocal tracks are reminiscent of the blues in a style that would make Eric Clapton think he may have a love child out there. The thing that impresses me is the ability to integrate urban elelments with stylish tweeking of the frets that is one part surf dog music, one part cool jazz, one part Spanish guitar chill for one delicious downtempo groove unique unto itself. If you have never heard Tommy Guerrero before check this out after you go surfing or skating and your day will be complete. The disc is pretty nice through and through as each song contributes to the easy going vibe tapestry. Recommended for chill heads everywhere.
Glorious
This is our first Tommy Guerrero CD, and the first time I've heard of him. I'm so pleasantly surprised, I can't tell you. Love every song on this CD. Great for setting a positive mood. How to describe this music? Mellow, upbeat, latin/jazzy/funk, definitely the overtones of funk, guitar playing with soul; some of the songs are very sensual; makes you feel like... doing something sensual!
Fave tracks: 3, 10, 13, 15, 17. But, again, we like them all.
