Probably this record is going to remain in the Spanish market, not going further... But who knows, with the Nu Niles on board. Anyway, we're going for a short review.

Loquillo started his career some 30 years ago and after his first couple of records, Rockabilly has been out of his target, focussed on plain Rock, Swing, Jazz, Pop... Now, after all this time and being a big star in the Spanish music business, he has felt the need to jump back to his roots. We'll see if it's just to say hello or to stay. In any case: welcome (back).

Fourteen songs, all sung in Spanish, and not all of them in Rockabilly or Rock'n'Roll style (don't get wrong). The highlights, in my very own oppinion, are "Eres un Rocker" and "Piratas" (nice Doo Wop, with The Velvet Candles adding up the harmonies), with "Quiero un camión", "Tatuados" and "Vaqueros del espacio" close behind.

Not a bad record at all, but not a "chef-d'oeuvre" neither.

For those who don't know Loquillo, probably you'll need to get used to his "hard, rough" voice... but in the meantime Nu Niles are there and that's a sure win.
