Artist:  Big Sandy with Los Straitjackets

Title: La Plaga

Date:  1996

Label:  Spinout Records   45-015

Notes:  A match made in heaven. Even if you took away the masks and the shtick the 'jackets would still blow away a large portion of the competition. The way they handle a tune is a thing of beauty. And then to add the vocals of lead Fly-Rite boy on top is to have the proper cigar with that glass of fine cognac. Both songs just swing with fun fuel emotion in both the voice and the music. And Big Sandy is center stage on the front of the picture sleeve with the men in the masks backing him up. Pick up anything you find by either of these artists, you won't be disappointed.

Line Up:

Big Sandy: vocals
Los Straitjackets
Danny Amis: guitar
Eddie Angel: guitar
E. Scott Esbeck: bass
Jimmy Lester: drums
