On My Way (deSoL Album)
''On My Way'' is the second major album release by New Jersey Latin rock band, deSoL. The album had its start while the band took a month off from touring in January 2006. After the success of their AAA top 10 single, Karma and a lengthy tour, the band started 2006 with a trip to Texas. They spent a month at Sonic Ranch, a boutique recording studio in the middle of a Pecan farm outside El Paso. With the benefit of isolation and virtually no phone service, the band spent their days rehearsing and working on writing new material inspired by their travels of the previous 2–3 years. A collection of 20 songs arose out of these informal sessions and demos were recorded by the band. This album was created and financed independently after the band left their previous label, CURB Records. The band then set about recording the album back in New Jersey with producer Jon Leidersdorff at his Lakehouse Recording Studio in Asbury Park.

Latin Rock
Latin rock is a term to describe a subgenre blending traditional sounds and elements of Latin American and Hispanic Caribbean folk with rock music. However, it is widely used in the English-language media to refer any kind of rock music featuring Spanish or Portuguese vocals. This has led to controversy about the scope of the terminology. Latin rock should not be confused with "rock music from Latin America" or rock en español. It's also closely related to the Latin alternative scene (which combines Latin elements with alternative rock, pop, electronic music, indie or hip hop among others) a term often used to refer the same phenomenon.
