I love this cat. He's from the former Yugoslavia and his tongue-in-cheek gun-slinging Balkan tunes get me every time. Note: listen behind the cheeky facade and sometimes you'll find extremely poignant lyrics...
This fantastic tune was taken from his last album ... do I detect House Of The Rising Sun in there?... Without doubt, but that Balkan/Mariachi horn action does the damage ...
