We didn’t even know he was undergoing chemotherapy for liver cancer.

He fronted The Hacienda Brothers and was lately a regular member of Dave Alvin’s band The Guilty Men, as well as a truly great solo performer. He combined the best elements of country, rock and roll, rhythm and blues, zydeco and tejano music to create his own sound, East LA Soul.

Here’s a clip of him performing “In The Garden” with his old band, The Cold Hard Facts
