El Rojo is the second full-length studio album by The Bakerton Group, otherwise known as "the psychedelic instrumental jazz-laden alter ego" of Clutch.

[2] Released in 2009, the album marks the debut of keyboardist Per Wiberg (then of Opeth), who replaced Mick Schauer.

[4] However, Neil Fallon has given another explanation for the title which indicated that "El Rojo" was: a vague character on a celestial level.

During the Opeth tour, The Bakerton Group invited Wiberg to jam on stage with them and, based on that chemistry, asked Wiberg to join the band for the El Rojo recording sessions.

Opeth's tour scheduling allowed for Wiberg to collaborate with the band in the studio.
