Soul Food Taqueria
EP — Released 2003 — Mo’ Wax
Inspired by the streets of his hometown San Francisco, Soul Food Taqueria is a progression in many ways. Not only is it more sonically advanced than his previous releases (although he admits that he's “still down with the fucked up 4 trk action”), but it also shows real maturity in his guitar playing and song writing. Vocals are much more prevalent than in previous recordings, with vocal tracks from Lyrics Born of Blackalicious / Quannum / Latyrx fame, and long time friend and collaborator, Gresham Taylor. Encapsulating Latin rhythms, stripped down folk, hip-hop, jazz, guitar-blues, minimal funk, soul and so much more, Guerrero's delicate jams are as spine tingling as ever, with Guerrero retaining the knack of sounding simple yet inventive.
Monte Vallier: mixing; Lyrics Born: vocals; Gadget: mixing, vocal producer; Gresham: vocals; Chuck Treece: drums; Greg Galbreath: keyboards.
