Ok, here's the deal with El Matador. If you like The Paladins as a whole and aren't an album by album type of fan then you'll dig this. It's the Pals doing what they do. Combo of old time rock n roll, country and rockabilly along the lines of Palvoline. But it swings and it rocks.

The Deal with El Matador is this. It's a good record for playing around the house. The writing is fine, it's easy. The Pals were never known as a heavy »songwriting« type of band. That isn't where the focus is for most of the listeners out there, just something they could sing along to easy. No politics, no heavy stuff, just fun.
