Story Behind The Song

I began El Huevon after an afternoon spent reminiscing with some old friends about various trips we, as pilots, had taken. We all agreed that the trips down Baja California were our favorite, as there still exists a "frontier" feeling there... As soon as you cross the border you feel as if you have escaped "regular life," and for a short time, your destiny is in nobody's hands but your own. Following the coastline closely at low altitude is a real thrill and gives an unparalleled view of Baja's rugged beauty. El Huevon - which in Mexican Spanish means "lazy one," which we fun-seeking vacationers no doubt must have seemed to the locals, who are a very hard-working people - expresses the rare joy of flying low over breathtaking vistas still unspoiled by the advance of civilization with its playful, contemporary leads soaring above a soundscape reminiscent of "Summer of Love"-era rock blues guitar, punctuated by some really unique and interesting modern alternative rock drumming.

Song Description

El Huevon is an upbeat yet soulful expression of the joy of breaking free from routine and seeing the world from a new place, where only nature's rules apply. From that perspective, one can see how the world "fits together," and that though in everyday life people, places and ideas may seem disjointed and unconnected, they are, in fact all integral and necessary pieces of a rather beautiful bigger picture.
