We've been performing the song El Camino since 10 City Run started. We learned it from Buffalo Nickel on MP3.com several years ago before the website went down. When we signed our record deal we knew right away that we were going to include this great song. It wasn't until afterwards we learned the story behind the songwriter and we thought we'd share it with you.
