More than two decades into their recording career (discounting their private-press 1970s debut album), Los Lobos still kick up an earthy mix of rock, funk, blues, and pan-Latin rhythms. Generally, few bands are more self-contained than this L.A. quintet, with its multi-instrumentalists and three powerful songwriters, but, for THE RIDE, the door to the outside world has opened up. More than half the songs here are collaborations with artists who've gained Los Lobos' respect--their heroes, peers, and disciples.

Dave Alvin, a contemporary of the band on the L.A. scene as guitarist for the Blasters, joins in on the Tex-Mex-flavored "Somewhere in Time." Cafe Tacuba, an eclectic Rock en Espanol band that probably picked up a few tricks from the Wolves, adds to the churning polyrhythms of "La Venganza de Los Pelados." R&B legend Bobby Womack brings his soulful wail to a medley of "Wicked Rain" (first recorded on KIKO) and his own '70s classic "Across 110th Street." Even as Los Lobos move into the future, THE RIDE places a pleasing sonic framework around their musical neighborhood's present and past.

This is a Hyper CD, which contains regular audio tracks and also provides a link to the artist's website with the help of a web browser.

Q (p.115) - 4 stars out of 5 - "It's all linked by a sense of dignity, wisely chosen collaborators and David Hidalgo's voice which, on its own or with others, still encompasses the hopes and fears of a whole community."
Down Beat (p.80) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[T]he group's instrumental expertise, matched with a genuine flair for assimilating and reinterpreting the sounds of their youth, has enable Los Lobos to ride the tide of fashion with elan."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.102) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Los Lobos challenge the status quo with a roaring, R&B-flavoured album whose eight cameo vocal spots make this boisterous party complete."

Average Rating: (2.8 out of 5 stars) 3 stars

2 stars Leave the guest stars behind boys
Disappointing release that is too heavy on the Latin funk and doesn't play to the strengths of the band. The covers of previous hits seems lukewarm, with the driving rock replaced with a slightly tepid feel.

4 stars Solid work!
As you can tell by reading the first review posted above, this album is a tad different than most other Los Lobos efforts, and therefore may suprise some Lobos fans. I for one have never been much of a fan, but I love this album. Great songs, great guest artists. I think Rita is my favorite track. I do have to say I'm a bit bummed out about the Tom Waits song. Not one of my favorites. Anyway...I think it IS worth the time and money. I hope you do too.

Ride album
CD $13.15
Middle-class girl, can act a bit, moves to the big city, climbs up the ladder and over a few men, sets her sights on nothing less than worldwide fame, does anything and everything to make that happen, and makes sure everyone in her life works toward the same goal. EVITA is, of course, the autobiography of Madonna. Or, at the very least, the story of Argentina's controversial populist hero Eva Peron is the role of Madonna's life. Say what you want about how well she acts it, but this lush pop-rock soundtrack is hard digital proof that she was born to sing it. Completely giving herself over to the role--the one thing her critics doubted she could ever do--Madonna turns in a vocal performance that may well surpass that on any of her own records. Madonna also, not surprisingly, dominates this soundtrack. She sings some parts, including the sad ballad "Another Suitcase In Another Hall," that weren't written for the role of Eva Peron; and Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, who won a slew of Tony Awards for the 1979 Broadway version of "Evita," have given her a new ballad, "You Must Love Me," that works equally well as an anthem for either Madonna or Peron. Actor Antonio Banderas, following up his small singing role in the movie "Desperado," proves a more-than-capable Che Guevara. This Australia-issue two-disc set brings together highlights from Madonna's performance in Andrew Lloyd Webber's EVITA with a CD-single of the remix of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina. Madonna staked much of her career on Evita, gambling that it would establish her as a proper movie star and respected actress, as well as reviving her slumping musical career. Both the film and the soundtrack, while worthy efforts, fall just short of their goals, despite their numerous strong points. The double-disc soundtrack to Evita -- which essentially is an audio document of the entire film, since there is no dialogue in the movie -- is an exquisitely produced and expertly rendered version of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's rock-inspired musical, yet it remains curiously unengaging. Part of the reason is Madonna's performance. While she gives a startlingly accomplished and nuanced performance -- her voice actually sounds like it matures over the ...
