Tommy Guerrero No Man’s Land Too Good Tommy Guerrero – pro skateboarder, Bones Brigade member, writer, designer, musician – it’s one of those CVs, renaissance man stuff, cool-guy stuff, too good for some, they can’t quite believe it but Guerrero’s second career as musician has been rolling along smoothly and there are – quite possibly – still fans of his music catching on to this guy’s skating prowess, to his background outside and away from music. Was a Japan-only release, initially.

Anybody got a zip or rar of this that is less than 200 MB? Tommy Guerrero - Soul Food Taqueria. Soul Food Taqueria, an Album by Tommy Guerrero. Released 8 April 2003 on Mo Wax (catalog no. MWR 158 CD; CD). Genres: Downtempo, Psychedelic Rock.
Sent out into the world a couple of years ago – here now as a Deluxe Edition, 19 tracks in total and as with other albums from Guerrero it’s a seamless blend of jazz and hip-hop eclecticism – meaning there’s room for little psychedelic undertones (Duel In The Dust), there’s hints of summer samba grooves (The Lone Pistolero) and cool grooves that swirl, daubing in all sorts of musical colours (The Stranger). If you remember back to 2003’s – Guerrero’s breakthrough in the international music market, the album that announced him, introduced him – not a whole lot has changed. Those angled guitar lines bend and blend with the beats of hip-hop (Locos Lament) and there’s a great shimmer and shine to the soul in this music (The Man from Califas), an updated feel of the Axelrod music that every crate-digger started reaching for once they’d heard what the likes of Shadow and Dre could do with it (The Last Stand). Guerrero’s easy-flow music is perfect background soundtrack to pre-party planning and post-party comedown – it can even be the party. But if you’re looking for anything more, some life-changing experience, some wondrous new sound, you’re in the wrong place. Be happy with what he does though – he does it well. And No Man’s Land is another smart and slick and happy gesture, another reminder of the cumbia (Phantom Rider) and jazz-funk sounds (Malas Tierras) that Guerrero is expert at aping, appropriating and adapting.
A nice sit-back-and-relax kind of album. His first in a while and his best – to my ears – since Soul Food Taqueria.

Having long since abandoned the capricious punk of his Bones Brigade-era band, the skatepunk outfit Free Beer, Tommy Guerrero's kept busy by churning out records of pleasant, if not earth-shattering, mellow gold, and Soul Food Taqueria doesn't stray too far from the groove into which he's settled. For the hour duration of Soul Food Taqueria's mostly instrumental, sample-based, and Latin-tinged grooves, the only element that occasionally breaks up the very pleasant monotony of the tracks are the vocals. Lyrics Born, Gresham Taylor, and occasionally Guerrero himself all sing on the album, some to greater effect than others (e.g., Lyrics Born's 'Gettin' It Together' is the standout track here, the sole hip-shaker among a gaggle of moodier pieces - the biggest inspiration for which seems to be the general street vibe of San Francisco's Mission district). Guerrero describes that scene pretty accurately with his music. Bryan Carroll.
