I just want to say that I'm not above posting the odd bit of accordion music over here....(hang onto your hats)
Check out the mean blues accordion on this piece by Los Bad Boys del Valle.
We really do live in a world museum these days, don't we? Not too many years ago, it would have been really unusual to hear a conjunto/norteno outfit incorporate blues riffs into their set. I love the way the accordion player switches between accordion and harmonica - and what a surprise to hear Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues materialize.

Holy moly that was fantastic. Where in the world did you find these guys? Also, did you notice the harmonica/accordion player never removed the gum. He'd hit a phrase...chew a bit...and back into it. Good stuff man.
Nice blog, man - Dig these guys - a cool latin music / Blues blend - thanks for sharing it!
I stumbled upon them jadedj, simple as that.
Yes it was surprising to hear "Folsom Prison Blues" cool post.
And I love accordion music.
jadedj, long time no see. Thanks for stopping by.
