 (3 Customer Reviews)
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.
Recorded at Sunset Sound Factory & Ocean Way, Los Angeles, California.

In the early 90's, Guitarist-Singer-Songwriter Wayne Janus began as a solo Blues performer in numerous festivals and night clubs throughout Southern Ontario, Canada. By the mid 90's, Wayne had formed a three-piece Blues band and began recording his renditions of classic Chicago and Delta Blues songs. His drive, dedication and musicianship earned him a job with Live Earth Management as the lead guitarist for Swamp Blues Legend George 'Wild Child' Butler. Butler's impressive biography is also a document of Blues history that clearly states his collaborations with Lightning Hopkins, Roosevelt Sikes, Willie Dixon, Howling Wolf and many other Blues Legends. As 'Wild Child's' lead guitarist Janus performed at festivals and large capacity venues in the U.S., Europe and Canada.By late 2002, Janus found the time to record an album despite a very busy touring schedule. The album entitled 'Muddy,' is an original progressive Blues project. This searing, live studio recording features Wayne's captivating lyricism and improvisational abilities. In November of 2003, Janus and his local band where backing up 'Wild Child' Butler in Switzerland at the Lucerne Blues Festival. London Blues Magazine published a revue of this major event that featured over 20 headliners and nearly a hundred sidemen. The article included a comment that described Wayne Janus as an inspiring guitarist on his way to the top. Upon returning from Europe, Janus and his band hit the studio and local Blues scene. Janus was in Salt Lake City during the summer of 2004 backing up 'Wild Child' Butler at the Snow Bird Jazz and Blues Festival. The stellar performance was nothing short of legendary. Wayne's guitar work always complemented 'Wild Child's' vocals and harmonica playing. Numerous standing ovations throughout the show were received from the full capacity venue of approximately 5,000. Upon returning from Utah, Wayne was offered a sponsorship by a popular recording engineer Dan Jefferies. Within weeks of accepting the offer by Jefferies, Bill ...
