The Green Car Motel
The Green Car Motel is a band that blends English and Spanish music into a unique Southwestern fusion incorporating vocals, guitars, bass, drums, percussion, lap steel guitar, keyboards, dobro’s, accordion, trumpet and violin.

The band was founded by vocalist and songwriter Rick Garcia along with guitarist and songwriter Rene Reyes. Both Garcia and Reyes grew up in San Diego, Texas, located 80 miles from the Mexican border. Eventually making their way to Los Angeles, they formed the band Act of Faith, releasing three albums.

In 2004, Garcia and Reyes formed The Green Car Motel.

As The Green Car Motel, Garcia and Reyes provided the end credit theme song to the 2004 Tom Cruise/Jamie Foxx blockbuster Collateral.

The band released their eponymous debut album, The Green Car Motel, in 2007.

The Green Car Motel features former Oingo Boingo bassist John Avila on bass, Art Pacheco on drums, Cisco Deluna on lap Steel Guitar, Dobro plus Accordion and Craig Eastman on Violin. Their music pulls from Garcia and Reyes' South Texas roots with a healthy dose of Southern California influences.

Pretty cool, on a bunch of levels. I cannot help but think of Jim: "He awoke one morning in a green motel, with a strange creature groaning beside him..." Also, of course, I have spent many a night in the embrace of tequila, from Jalisco to Roppongi, back again and then some...

Heard this last week waiting in the traffic jam to get around the broken bridge on I  5. It picked up the mood nicely.

This is the same as Santana's Africa Bamba off of Supernatural.  Who did the original?
