Funny I didn’t even think I would find anything on Jim Balcom or the song “Corrido Rock” except for another site directing me to Art Laboe’s “Memories of El Monte”. As a child I actually knew Jim Balcom. He was very good friends with my (my mother’s eldest brother) Bill Burrola. Bill Burrola was in fact the saxophone player. The correct name of the band was “The Handsome Jim Balcom and The Shades of Rythm”.
