Liner notes:

"From the first time I saw Randy years ago in a club in Anaheim, California, I was blown away at how soulful he sounded - I immediately thought of the great Bobby Blue Bland."

--Bill Medley, The Righteous Brothers

"Randy is one soulful, chirpin' fool!"

--Bobby Hatfield, The Righteous Brothers

" I snapped to what a great voice Randy has back in the '50s. Randy is the consummate Chicano blues man. He still sings the blues in the tradition of Little Willy John, Joe Hinton, Junior Parker, and Bobby Blue Bland, He's totally unique."

--Doug Sahm, Texas Tornados

"Randy is the Chicano Jackie Wilson."

--Clifford Antone, Antone's, Austin TX

"Randy Garibay is my mentor. To watch Randy perform, so natural on stage, is a treat."

--Sunny Ozuna

"Randy's performance is true magic. As you watch Randy perform, several things are evident: his passion for his music, his love of all people, and his sheer joy of living!"

--Wild Bill Riley, Radio KONO, San Antonio

Reviews
Paige Ross, Corpus Christi Caller-Times
"Chicano blues, horn-driven R&B delivered with lyrics born of the Hispanic experience, are the creation and hallmark of Randy Garibay. His sassy, bluesy, sometimes bilingual R&B reflects south Texas culture and changes in the Hispanic community."

Bill Ramsey, San Antonio Current, May 29-June 4, l997
"At 57, Garibay can still coax sinfully soulful sounds from his guitar with seemingly effortless ease, and his voice has lost little of its rich timbre. Garibay's colleagues in his band Cat's Don't Sleep--Rocky Morales (saxophone), Al Gomez (trumpet), Jack Barber (bass), and Urban Urbano (drums)--rank among the finest players the city has produced. And while other men his age might be eagerly eyeing retirement, Garibay seems to regard his 40 - plus years as a professional musician as only another milestone in an ongoing love affair, with the best years yet to come, "I'm having a ball," says Garibay, adding, "It's more fun now than when I was in my 20s."

Jim Beal, Jr., San Antonio Express News
"With a voice reminiscent of Bobby Blue Band, a guitar style that fuses slick picking and fat chords, a repertoire that ranges from bilingual originals to big band blues obscurities and the ability to entertain the most exoteric of crowds, Garibay is a Texas blues treasure... There are priceless jewels among the 10 cuts on "Barbacoa Blues". The title track, "Too Close to the Border" and "Viuda Negra (Black Widow Woman)" are as good as any contemporary blues. His cover of the Bland classic, "Two Steps From the Blues" would make Bland sweat--and applaud."

Doug Sahm, Texas Tornados
