MARK ZUBIA
Parts of Yesterday
Mark Zubia steps out of the shadow of his rock band day job -- guitarist for the Pistoleros, on his solo debut. Zubia chose to write in a variety of Americana styles instead of limiting himself to the more straight-ahead rock of his other band. Country, it's cousin honky-tonk, folk and pop styles are used as backing for Zubia's stories of lost love, and freedom from broken hearts. His bluesy voice provides a gentle balance to the rich textures behind him. Fans of the Pistoleros will want to check this out to see what has been hiding in the shadows. Fans of confessional bluesy-roots rock will want to give it a listen because Zubia has a sensitivity that makes you believe he lived all of these songs. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (El Rey)

THE PISTOLEROS: This Tempe, Ariz., fivepiece does for Americana what regional counterparts like the Gin Blossoms once did for college-radio guitar pop. The follow-up to their 1998 Hollywood Records album Hang Onto Nothing is a self-titled, self-released effort.
