The USA Sessions is a blues album by Mexican guitarist Javier Bátiz, the Tijuana rock pioneer best known as Carlos Santana's early mentor. It was recorded in the summer of 1969 at ID Studios in Hollywood but sat unreleased for 34 years, finally coming out in 2003.
The session was put together by Mexican drummer Fito de la Parra — by then a member of American blues-rock band Canned Heat and a longtime friend and former student of Bátiz — who later handled the mixing himself and released the record on his own imprint, Canned Heat Records. The lineup included Canned Heat bassist Larry Taylor, pianist Ernest Lane, bassist Olaf de la Barreda and saxophonist Clifford Salomon, with horn arrangements by Miles Grayson.
Most of the eleven tracks are versions of songs already in Bátiz's live repertoire — "Charlena," "Slippin' and Slidin'," "Woke Up This Morning," "Lonely Nights" among them — alongside "Come Back Home," co-written by Bátiz and de la Parra. The original plan had been to mix and release the tapes in Mexico, but that never happened, and the reels sat shelved for over three decades.
Mexican blues writers treat the record as a notable footnote in the country's blues history: though cut on American soil, the session was led by a Mexican musician, and its interpretation and arrangements are grounded in the border-blues sensibility Bátiz developed in Tijuana.
