The first eponymous track will give you the tone of the album : a high octane and made- to- sweat -blood californian rockabilly one. And all songs excepted one (the Hayden Thompson “Whacha Gonna Do”) are written by Omar alone or with his many different Stringpoppers (Jeff Gerow, Iggy Garcia, Danny Angulo, Victor Mendez and Santiago Bermudez from “Chuy and the Bobcats”). The second one “Step Back Baby” with is Johnny Burnette style will high a little more your thermometer and the third one “You May Run”, a no time to breathe rocker will make it explode already. Then the knock on your head tracks carry on in “Mike Tyson” style: “That’s fine”, “I’m Gone”, “Wasting My Time”, “Have a Ball”, “Remember the Good Times”, “Rebel Girl/Half Loved” (a stroller half in Spanish half in English made with Lil’Luis Arriaga), “Stay Awhile” “Gypsy Woman” and so on ‘til the alternate take of “Wasting My Time” that will definitely knock you out!! But wait, there’s some more to come : a short (but very good) hidden track.
