Big Red and Barbacoa is the second album by South Texas' Hacienda, and like it's predecessor Loud Is the Night (Alive 2008), it has been produced at the Akron Analog Studio by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys. Recorded on the tail end of a year of playing at clubs and festivals across North America, Australia, and Europe, opening for Dan Auerbach and Dr. Dog, this new album brings heavier grooves and flavor to the '60s harmonies sound the band is known for. The result is a blend of Tex-Mex roots rock, retro-pop and R&B that can only be described as South Texas Soul. Big Red and Barbacoa captures the attitude of a band ready to throw pretension to the roadside and play rock n' roll the way it was intended.
