I feel dirty for liking this song. A guy having sex with a child and it's a fun, uptempo romp? Disturbing.

Jerry nails it, but Phil sounds awful and he's loud in the mix.

Mexicali Blues
June 8, 1977
Winterland Arena

Bob messes up the lyrics, Jerry's guitar work goes nowhere, But wait - the quality of the recording is spectacular and the year is 1977, so we'd all better bump this sucker up, because not doing so would be heresy!!

Love those 1991 Mexicalis with Hornsby. The instrumental break is long and sweet, as we listen to some guitar, trumpet, fiddle, piano, bass and drums.

Nice version where Vince leads the way and Jerry kind of sits back and watches him.

Polka time! Jerry rips. Instrumental break gets that extra pass that makes all the difference.

It will take less than 3 minutes for you to hear this. Bob's vocals are strong and inspired. Jerry is just jamming along the whole way, especially during the instrumental break. At times, Phil adds the perfect thumps. Given that all this happens in under 3 minutes, you should definately take the time to give this a listen.
