Frank Carillo and the Bandoleros

Congrats Frank on the Hollywood Music Award's win~Best Blues Artist! "'Someday' was a deliberate attempt at writing a song with just one chord. It started with just that Slim Harpo kind of rhythm and grew from there. The lyrics pretty much wrote themselves. In fact, while we were recording it, the 'see the light inside your head' verse just came flying out. It wasn't on the lyric sheet. I love this one 'cause it's one of the songs on the CD that the lead vocal was recorded while we were cutting the track and the recording was very spontaneous." "I started writing 'Eastern Time' on an instrument from Spain called a laud. It has a shape similar to a mandolin, but much bigger and it has 12 strings. I picked it up in Barcelona when I was on the road with John Hammond. Augie Meyers and I found it in a small shop off some side street. I've always been inspired by new and different instruments. It seems like they have new songs built into them. Anyway, the lyrics came after a trip to Thailand and Hong Kong that my wife and I took. It has kind of an old 1940s mystery movie theme. There are shady characters (I love shady characters - from a distance), exotic locales and a bit of humor. There are some bits of reality, too, like the Quan Yin. It was given to us in Hong Kong, but we didn't have to smuggle it into the States! This was written mostly in Arizona. Go figure." Frank Carillo and the Bandoleros - Someday - is through our associates at Jezebel Records, Inc. Added to that, a few features from Frank's Doc Holiday days;In 1973 he formed Doc Holiday a band which consisted of Robert Liggio on drums, Thomas Arlotta on bass and Bob Mayo on guitar. The band recorded their first album at Olympic Studios in England for Metromedia Records. The album was produced by Chris Kimsey who had just finished recording the Rolling Stones' "Sticky Fingers" album at Olympic Studios. Chris obtained permission for the band to use the Stones' equipment to record their album. As if using the Stones' equipment wasn't enough, Led Zeppelin, who was mixing their "House of the Holy" album in the adjoining studio, became fast friends which culminated one night in an unforgettable Led Zeppelin - Doc Holiday jam session at Olympic.
