Tommy Guerrero Keeps it Groovin’
On February 1st Tommy Guerrero launched his latest CD “Lifeboats and Follies” on Galaxia. Tommy has been cranking out smooth funky jams with latin and jazz flavor for years now. His mostly instrumental grooves are perfect soundtracks for mellow drives and chilling out. Being a former member of the Bones Brigade and a San Francisco street skate progenitor, Tommy is a true skaterock super star. He was busting ollie kickflips before boards had upturned noses and concave. He had memorable parts in the Future Primitive and Real videos and musical exploits go back to the budding days of skaterock when he played in Free Beer in San Francisco.
His latest album continues his past work with no surprises and no disappointments. To my ear it sounds a bit more improvised and loose than some of the earlier work. If you have not latched on to Tommy’s work yet you should definitely check it out.
