Founding member of this band that, during the boom of rock in Spanish in the 80s, performed in practically all the forums of the rock scene of that time (Rockotitlán, Tuttifrutti, El 9, Rock Stock, El Alicia, etc.), at national festivals and university events.

He was the founder, songwriter, and leader of this blues band from 2000 to 2019. During this period, they became the resident group of the iconic Ruta 61 space in Mexico City, where they played for thirteen years.?

Octavio describes his style as "eclectic blues," where the aesthetics of blues, rock, and jazz interact constantly. Among his musical influences are artists as diverse as B.B. King, Lightnin' Hopkins, Jimi Hendrix, and The Beatles. The lyrics of their songs seek to break the stereotypes with which concepts such as love, life and death are traditionally approached.

Saxophonist/vocalist Evelyn Rubio gathers a star-studded cast for Crossing Borders, with some songs delivered in English, some in Spanish. The album is produced by Grammy-winner and bassist Larry Fulcher and features guests from the Phantom Blues Band, Spirit, some of the best session players in Austin, all with sterling resumes, and Josh Sklair who held Etta James’ guitar chair for years. However, the project may have been overly ambitious, resulting in uneven results, though Rubio has several shining moments. In her own words, “Blues, Rock, Jazz, and a little Country weave love and heartbreak stories…” This results in sessions in L.A., Houston, and Austin across four studios, with Fulcher being the only (mostly) constant backing musician, even though he was not present on two of the 15 tracks. It’s the same issue that often plagues tribute albums: trying to do too much with too wide a cast. Nonetheless, Rubio is clearly talented both on her horn and as a powerful vocalist who can’t help but shine with this stellar backing.

She does space out the different contingents with three from Austin, four from L.A. including the Spanish bonus tracks and one acoustic track, backed by guitarist the Mighty Orq and harmonicist “Sonny Boy Terry.” The Austin group includes sizzling guitarist Dave Grissom (Joe Ely, Storyville), legendary keyboardist Red Young, Zach Person on second guitar and Kirk Covington on drums for the opener “One Last Time,”(from the ‘70s band Rhinoceros) “When You Say You’re Sorry,” and “What a Way to Go.” These are the blues rockers, and, while they are solid, not the best of what she offers.

The title track (both versions) and “He Did Me Wrong But He Did It Right” (both versions) were laid sown in L.A. with Al Staehely (guitar) and Mark Andes (bass) from the band Spirit with Brandon Jackson on drums, Barry Seelen on keys and Kenny Cordway on guitar, who unfortunately passed short after the recording. The ballad material seems to suit Rubio best as well as the tunes where she plays sax which is only about half of them. “Crossing Borders” is the only time she plays tenor, choosing alto for the others. It is clearly a standout track and she struts her sultry self on the up-tempo “He Did me Wrong But He Did It Right” also.

The Mexico City-born Rubio was a star in her home country before locating to Houston where she eventually got a saxophone chair the Calvin Owens Orchestra (formerly B.B. King’s backing band), through Al Staehely’s invitation. After meeting another King cohort, James Bolden, Rubio recorded her first album as a leader, Hombres, also done in English and Spanish.

Among the highlights for those with the Phantom Blues Band (Braunagel, Finnigan, Schell, Fulcher) are “Port Isabel,” her best and most soulful sax spot on the disc, and the simmering, smoldering “I Don’t Understand” which is goose-bump-inducing and a showcase for her expansive vocal range. She closes the English portion of the disc with the Latin music standard, “Besame Mucho,” in acoustic Delta blues style which is another winner.

Evelyn Rubio has the goods and delivers several bright moments. She’s just overly ambitious here, and will hopefully rein it in with more focus next time out. —Jim Hynes

Javier Bátiz - El Baul Del Brujo Vols 1 & 2

Javier Batiz, a Guitar Legend in Mexico. A childhood friend of Santana's, he became a cult hero even though he stayed home. The story starts in Tijuana in the 1950s with two kids who played together in a rock 'n' roll band, the TJs. They both had dreams. But one went north and the other went south. Those choices would make an enormous difference to the careers of the two budding Mexican guitarists, Carlos Santana and Javier Batiz. From San Francisco, Santana would emerge as one of the most influential and celebrated figures in rock history. In Mexico City, Batiz would find his early success stymied by a conservative social climate hostile to the growth of rock music and its rebel culture. Feeling defeated, Batiz moved back to Tijuana in 1970, just as his old friend's career was taking off across the border. Though he's continued to perform and record steadily since, Batiz slipped into relative anonymity. Nicknamed El Brujo (the Wizard), he became a cult figure unknown even to the new generation of Mexican rockers who started to flourish in the mid-1980s.

Santana, however, never forgot the effect of seeing El Brujo play for the first time one Sunday afternoon in the kiosk of a Tijuana park. "The first electric guitar I heard was Batiz's," Santana has said. "I was listening to the sound of the guitar and I thought ..., 'Man, this is my future.' "

Aficionados looking for the real roots of rock history in Mexico are increasingly finding Batiz and his blazing guitar at the source. Although some still believe that Mexican rock started in the '80s with groups such as Cafe Tacuba and El Tri, Batiz was actually at the birth of the country's rock scene two decades earlier.
