Los Lobos at The Barre Opera House

Read "Los Lobos at The Barre Opera House" reviewed by Doug Collette


Los Lobos Barre Opera House Barre, Vermont January 28, 2017 Without playing virtually any of their best known material-no “La Bamba" or “How Will the Wolf Survive?"-Los Lobos thoroughly charmed and eventually won the hearts (and minds no doubt) of a Vermont crowd January 28. This even after a “Wanna get away moment?" for guitarist Cesar Rosas when, early in the evening, he came right out and asked his audience where he and his bandmates ...

Los Lobos The Flynn Center for the Performing Arts Burlington VT October 1, 2014 Los Lobos are celebrating four decades together by returning to their acoustic roots on tour in support of their live release of late last year, Disconnected in New York (Shout Factory, 2013). And the band certainly celebrated on their return to Burlington after a five year absence, offering an progressively loose and raucous performance that nevertheless never lost its decidedly intimate ...

Los Lobos: Disconnected in New York City

Read "Disconnected in New York City" reviewed by Doug Collette


Recorded within the intimate confines of the Big Apple's City Winery in December 2012, Disconnected in New York City finds Los Lobos' simultaneously recognizing, anticipating and celebrating its fortieth anniversary as a band. Little wonder the performances are so sparkling on the three discs within the 'Deluxe Edition,' potent beyond their somewhat abbreviated duration. The main recording is also available as a single cd, and carries comparably more force by dint of its length alone: a baker's dozen ...

Los Lobos: Kiko @ 20 (x3)

Read "Los Lobos: Kiko @ 20 (x3)" reviewed by Doug Collette


In the twenty years since the release of Kiko, Los Lobos has made albums equally brilliant--The Town and The City (Mammoth, 2006) for instance--but it has never made one better. This eighth album from the East Los Angeles band, in fact, stands as a template for all subsequent Los Lobos albums (hear 2011's Tin Can Trust) in its seamless blend of eclectic musical styles, evocative lyrics, creative production and the savvy, seasoned musicianship.The album is a unified song cycle which ...

Los Lobos: Kiko @ 20 (x3)

Read "Los Lobos: Kiko @ 20 (x3)" reviewed by John Kelman


With a career now well into its fourth decade, and with a discography heavy on hits and light on misses, there are still sure to be certain recordings that stand out amidst a growing catalog. Yet, when Los Lobos released Kiko (Warner Bros.) in 1992, it had an album that not only stood out--if for no other reason than completely reinventing what the group was capable of and raising the bar for every album that followed, right up to its ...

Los Lobos: Kiko - 20th Anniversary Edition

Read "Los Lobos: Kiko - 20th Anniversary Edition" reviewed by Skip Heller


Los Lobos Kiko: 20th Anniversary Edition Shout! Factory 2012 Looking over the punk-era rise of Los Angeles roots rock, reveals an embarrassment of musical riches. The prototypical outfit was The Blasters, a literate working class rockabilly-tinged barband whose songs (written by Dave Alvin) were knowing, compassionate stories of real American life, and they inspired a movement of imitators. Then there was X, fronted by the husband/wife team of John Doe and Exene Cervanka, whose punk ...

By Dennis Cook Press play on Tin Can Trust (released August 3 on Shout! Factory), the 13th studio album from Los Angeles-based titans Los Lobos, and one would never guess it was the output of a group that's been chugging away for 36 years and counting. An atmosphere of complete, engaged excitement permeates the 11 new tracks, which are both instantly identifiable as Los Lobos and sumptuously different in hard to pinpoint ways. This band's creative gusto is slippery like ...

CD Review: Los Lobos, "Tin Can Trust"

Quick, name another band whose lineup has been intact for 26 years. Not that easy is it? Not these days, not any days. Los Lobos can claim that distinction. Steve Berlin (sax, keyboards) is the new guy. He joined in 1984. Cesar Rosas (guitar, vocals), David Hidalgo (guitar, violin, accordion, vocals), Louie Perez (guitar, drums, vocals), and Conrad Lozano (bass, vocals) have been together since 1973. Tin Can Trust, their first album of original material in four years, is also ...

Robert Plant Meets Los Lobos: 'What a Thrill'

What's the response for a songwriter when a rock god decides to record one of your tunes?

That question came to mind when I got word last week that Robert Plant's new solo album, “Band of Joy," due in September, would include, among other roots folk, rock and country songs, his version of Los Lobos' “Angel Dance" from their 1990 album, “The Neighborhood." So I put the question to Louie Perez, who wrote the haunting and bittersweet tune with his ...
