The McKay Brothers - Cold Beer & Hot Tamales

The second and highly anticipated release from the McKay Brothers is Cold Beer & Hot Tamales, following their acclaimed eponymous debut album.

Renowned producer and steel player Lloyd Maines has managed to capture the live essence of the McKay Brothers - true Texas Hill Country Music. The lyrics have English and Spanish mixed in, true to the heritage of this area of borderland USA that has generated so much good music.

Cold Beer and Hot Tamales is described in the McKay Brothers' publicity material as hitting emotions from cold and hot to refreshing and spicy, which may be a little elaborate, but does sum up the approach of Mark Patterson on drums, Corby Schuab on mandolin, Joel Guzman on accordion and Lloyd Maines at the helm. Guy Clark no less, has described the McKay brothers as 'enchanting and amazing'.
