My old friend King Gully was the first Rasta surfer on the wild North Shore of Barbados. This song is based on his true story. It's been described as a cross between "I Shot The Sheriff" and "Puff The Magic Dragon". :>) I think you'll like it, as well as the shots of great surfing and amazing waves, all from Barbados! Enjoy....

Sounds Like
The Beatle's White Album crashes into the next century, but less homogenous.
Stylistically the music covers every genre from Punk to Pop, Metal to Mariachi, Calypso to Gospel, Rock to R&B. Our motto; "Let no two songs sound alike." No wonder we don't have a major label deal!

.........NOW, BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED SILLYNESS...............
HOLY GUACAMOLE! It’s “Jesus In A Tortilla”, the new CD from the Bucky Burro Band!
“The Bucky who?” you might ask. Good question.
If John Lennon, Lenny Bruce and Cheech & Chong had formed a band, they might have sounded something like the Bucky Burro Band. This new, full-length CD is a collection of some of the goofiest, whackiest songs ever recorded. In addition to “Jesus In A Tortilla”, they include:
“The Legend Of Sex Donkey”,
“Boogerama”,
“I Hate 2 Dance”,
“Beat Up, Broke Down World” and the ever popular,
“And Many More...”.
As much as we'd love to name-drop some of the guest artists who lent their incredible talents to the making of this record, we've decided it would be best if we all remained anonymous due to the recent proliferation of crackpots and whackos in our society. But rest assured that some of our guest stars are absolute legends who are probably in your music collection, if you have any taste at all. On the other hand, if you had any taste at all, you probably wouldn't be reading this and considering checking out this CD!
Regarding the Miracle Tortillas themselves; this is not some cheesy Photoshop trick. These are real tortillas, with a genuine toasted image of Jesus miraculously roasted in, just like in the song! Like fingerprints or snowflakes, no two Miracle Tortillas are exactly alike due to the unique swirls and toasting patterns of each tortilla. Each one is a unique work of art, signed and numbered on the back and dipped in epoxy resin to preserve it for eternity. Bound to be collector's items, they're great as Christmas tree ornaments, for hanging from your rear view mirror, or as a birthday present for anyone you know with either a good sense of humor, or no sense of humor at all. You know who we mean!
You can buy your very own Genuine Imitation Miracle Tortilla and "Jesus In A Tortilla" CD at www.buckyburro.com. Also all the songs are available for listening, (a lot more easily than here,) and as downloads at http://cdbaby.com/cd/buckyburro. Check 'em out!
Will miracles never cease?! Not while Bucky Burro’s around! We hope you enjoy the music, the Tortilla, the whackiness of Biblical proportions called the Bucky Burro Band!
Rick & Bucky, and the whole crew at Road Apple Records.
