• Lonesome Onry and Mean: A Tribute to Chris Gaffney

  Chris Gaffney Right on the heels of Wednesday's announcement of Vanguard's new Doug Sahm tribute album comes Yep Roc's tribute to Chris Gaffney, The Man of Somebody's Dreams. Ironically, it includes some of the same high-profile roots artists who pay tribute to Sahm: Dave Alvin, Los Lobos and Alejandro Escovedo. Gaffney was a Southern California barroom legend, the kind of player and man for whom the cliché "musician's musician" was coined.    Before he died of liver

• For Cinco de Mayo: Five Non-Mexican Mexicans In The Movies

  Cinco de Mayo is a day for Americans of Mexican descent to commemorate their rich history and heritage while at the same time trying to ignore the legions of mouth-breathing Chron commenters clamoring for their deportation. And if being blamed for the H1N1 (don't call it swine) flu outbreak wasn't enough, Mexicans have also have had to suffer the indignity of having non-Mexican actors portraying them in the movies.5.

  Doug Sahm is probably up in heaven with a bottle of Big Red in his hand and a huge smile on his face and bending God's ear about Tremoloco. Lonesome, On'ry and Mean has received an early warning that Tremoloco is returning to Under the Volcano July 22, after a 13-month absence. Composed of Los Lobos vets Tony Zamora and Cougar Estrada, longtime Dave Alvin sideman Rick Shea, and three - count 'em, three - ace guitaristas in Bob Robles, Mike Tovar and Juan Chacon, this outfit brings it full-force

  Photos by Vera Mitchell  Los Angeles roots band Tremoloco brought Doug Sahm-type Mexican soul to an enthusiastic audience Wednesday night at Under the Volcano. After warming up with a brand-new song called "Old Man," the band sucked the eager crowd in with a stellar country version of Warren Zevon's "Carmelita," and it was all fun and games after that as they worked through last year's release Dulcinea. The biggest surprise of the evening was an L.A. vato-billy version of Dylan's "Highway 6

• The Music of True Blood, Episode 2: Austin's Vallejo Lies Down With a "Snake In the Grass"

  ​Vallejo is a rock and roll band of the highest caliber from just a few miles away in El Campo. The band started as a trio of three brothers who moved to Austin in order to pursue their dream of being the next Santana. Once in the "live music capital of the world," they added a rhythm guitarist and a conga player to further explore their saucy Latin side, and settled down quietly to become one of the foremost acts in the city. Vallejo has since toured with the likes of Stone Temple Pilots, Fue
