Los Lobos Artist Snapshot:

They began playing traditional Mexican music in their native East L.A. in the mid-'70s, but Los Lobos were galvanized by the California punk movement. By the early '80s they were a rock band to be reckoned with, purveying a highly charged brand of roots-rock distinctively colored by conjunto and Latin shadings. Their '90s work with producer Mitchell Froom found them heading into new worlds of textural sonic exploration.

Title Note

Los Lobos: David Hidalgo (vocals, guitar, lap steel guitar, violin, accordion, percussion); Cesar Rosas (vocals, guitar, mandolin, bajo sexto); Louie Perez (guitar, drums); Conrad Lozano (guitarron, bass); Steve Berlin (harmonica, tenor & baritone saxophones).

Additional personnel: T-Bone Burnett (vocals); Mitchell Froom (keyboards); Mickey Curry, Anton Fier, Ron Tutt (drums); Alex Acuna (percussion).

Recorded at Sunset Sound Factory & Ocean Way, Los Angeles, California.

This 1987 album followed in the footsteps of Los Lobos' two stunning predecessors (AND A TIME TO DANCE and HOW WILL THE WOLF SURVIVE). One of the band's many strengths is the contrast between the formidable songwriting of David Hidalgo/Louie Perez and Cesar Rosas, with the former exploring stories of sadness and hope while the latter rocks like a barn on fire.

This is an album of incredibly natural songs; they roll out like long lost classics, but that's simply another testament to the prowess of this band as players and writers. In a way, this was the band's last offering before they were forced to take stock of themselves and their goals in the wake of the surprise million-selling LA BAMBA soundtrack. That they were able to carry themselves forward from that point with grace and aplomb is foreshadowed in the utter honesty of this and all of their music.
