Joe King Carrasco landed back in the studio late 2012 - this time with Ernie Durawa, Speedy Sparks and Augie Meyers, three members of his first band, El Molino and recorded a new CD, ‘Tlaquepaque’. The plan was to record a couple songs, but they couldn't stop and ended up recording a full CD, all written by Joe King Carrasco. Joe’s songwriting only gets better which is apparent on this recording with mostly new songs exhibiting diverse musical styles including Garage Rock, San Antonio Rumba Blues, Polka, Vamp Rock, Tex-Mex, Cha-cha, and more. During the recording, many amazing musician friends stopped in to add tracks including Jesse Dayton, Joe Morales, Aaron Lack, Chuggy Hernandez, Jimmy Shortell, Marcello Gauna, John X Reed, Gil Herman and Lisa York.

Songs include: Tlaquepaque, I Saw My Baby, Anna, Ayudame Lupe, Mas Mas, Por Que, Buena, Make Believe Kisses, Bienvenidos Al rincon De Los Borrachos, Tell Me, Donna Do Ya Wanna, Karmalita.
