The Story of Tattoo Laredo and Vamos A Get Down |
|
Written by Joe King Carrasco on December 7, 2011
Tattoo Laredo and Vamos A Get Down- were recorded back to back-- in 1990 and 1991 in Houston and Austin, Texas. If you check out a timeline of my recording history- you will see a gap between Royal Loyal and Live (1989) and Dia De Los Muertos (1995) This is the music that was fueling the live shows in that period.
These are the tapes that were left behind and almost forgotten on the back dusty shelves of several recording studios almost twenty years ago for various reasons.
The songs for Tattoo Laredo were recorded in Feb. 1990 in Austin Texas. Then we took the masters down to Saturn Sounds in Houston to finish the overdubbing with Richard Cagel, who took over the engineering on this project. Richard was a bassist and vocalist for the first real performing band " The shades of Time" that I played in, in the 7th grade, in Dumas, Texas. He is pretty much responsible for keeping this effort alive through all this time.

Mexico Mike Nelson a friend of mine and probably the best authority on traveling around Mexico, just wrote a book called “Stop Clutter From Stealing Your Life.” I was featured in one chapter for being a pack rat to the extreme of extremes. This is so true. I just can’t throw anything away.
