With the release of 1992's landmark album, KIKO, Los Lobos broke away from the somewhat limiting "roots-rock" label and established themselves as a band capable of making sonically adventurous, meticulously constructed music. That thread of bold experimentation re-surfaced, to greater or lesser degrees, in the band's successive releases, but it wasn't until 2006's THE TOWN AND THE CITY that Los Lobos came close to matching the artistic success of KIKO.

Blues, rock, and R&B still form the structural skeleton here, but that skeleton is fleshed out with a diversity of styles that includes cumbia, jazz, norteno, country, and ambient shadings. Yet THE TOWN AND THE CITY never sounds like a collection of genre experiments; the band integrates its eclectic range into an organic sound that is uniquely and wholly their own. The songwriting is top-notch too, with lyrics that focus on community-oriented concerns ("The Valley") and the more universal questions of the heart ("If You Were Only Here Tonight"), and are supported by melodies that are plaintive, haunting, or simply catchy. This album represents one of America's best and longest-running bands working at the height of its creative powers.

Los Lobos: Conrad Lozano, David Hidalgo, Louie Pérez, Steve Berlin, Cesar Rosas.

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Rolling Stone (p.126) - 4 stars out of 4 -- "This is what happens when five guys create a magical sound, then stick together for thirty years to see how far it can take them."
Uncut (p.117) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The heartfelt vocals and inspired guitar work of David Hidalgo bring a stunning soulfulness to Los Lobos' 13th album..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.103) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Like many atmospherically textured albums, the songs are slow-burn rather than instant."

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 ...

Taking the place of the obligatory cd two-fer of GP and GREVIOUS ANGEL, Gram Parsons's THE COMPLETE REPRISE SESSIONS covers it all and then some for Grampires of all stripes. Produced by Emmylou Harris and Parsons cohort James Austin, this beautifully designed three-disc set includes one disc devoted to each solo record and a third featuring outtakes from each album's sessions. With fewer overdubs and Gram and Emmylou's vocals front-and-center in the mix, the final disc brims with the emotive ...

Town And The City album
CD $15.95  4.6 stars Audio Samples
Musically, the album finds Dylan once again mining the stately traditionalist sound first heard on LOVE AND THEFT. Lazy blues numbers, piano-based songbook pop, and jumpin' country swing provide the backdrop for Dylan's continuing study of the vicissitudes of life, love, and death. Although he is certainly world-weary, a lot of life is lived in the verses of these songs and there is a dogged spirituality that provides, if not hope (a rather prosaic notion for Dylan by this point, to be sure), at least a means to finding ...
