When we last left Andres Calamaro the year was 1989 and he was moving to Spain
Once in Spain, with Rot, they created Los Rodriguez (kind of like The Smiths as far as a name)
Los Rodriguez consisted of a mix of Argentine rockers and Spanish…half the band had previously been in 80s rockers Tequila
Los Rodríguez is a very Stonesy band…lots of Stones rockers mixed with some great Calamaro ballads… they would become very big in Spain in pushing Rock and roll…Spain was still coming out of decades of repression and totalitarian rule under Franco
This is their first album released on a minor indie in exchange for $5000 their lead guitarist needed for his horse habit
Tons of classics many of which would be re-recorded in better studios with more budget
Calamaro begins to shift from a pop sound to a more rocking sound…the Stones become a major touchstone…looking at him on cover we see him beginning to sport his Bob Dylan look
