Free Music Notes for Good Morning Aztl?n [Limited Edition]Free Music Review: Another triumph for that band from East L.A. Hit: 4 StarsI really enjoy the mix this band provides. Straight ahead rock n roll, a lot of blues influences, and the traditional rythyms of Mexico.
David Hidalgo and Cesar Rojas both have distinctive and enjoyable vocal styles. My favorite tracks are "Hearts of Stone and the title track. Enjoy!
Free Music Review: It is their best since Kiko Hit: 5 StarsDavid Hidalgo has to be placed up there when it comes to all-time great songwriters. This album is more diverse than some of their later albums and has arguably their greatest song ever in the title track "Good Morning Aztlan." I now own most of Los Lobos stuff and place this album probably as their third of fourth best and that is a compliment. If you are a fan, you will love this album. I must disagree with the person that wrote the official notes on top about this CD. I do not feel that the songs sung in Spanish are the best on this album, quite the opposite. The best songs are the ones penned and sung by Hidalgo.
Free Music Review: The first song is worth the price of the CD... Hit: 4 StarsPut this CD in your stereo, press play, and CRANK it..."Done Gone Blue" rocks out unlike any other song they have ever done. A jamming start to a great album...highly recommended.
Free Music Review: Back on the Right Track Hit: 4 StarsAfter two disappointing albums "Collossal Head" and "This Time" it seems that Los Lobos are back on the "right" track. Though not as consistent as their great albums ( Neighborhood, Kiko etc.) there are some very strong tracks here. "Tony y Maria" and "What in the World" are beautiful ballads. And the title track is a great rocker. Great guiltar playing all over, and I simply love the voice of David Hidalgo.
Free Music Review: VERY AVERAGE Hit: 3 StarsThis one is nothing more than mainstream rock, and while that in it's self is not inherently bad, I've come to expect much better from this band. I would recommend KIKO or BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON instead, especially if you are a new comer to LOS LOBOS. THE NEIGHBORHOOD would also be an excellent choice. I enjoy this band very much, but not this release. I hope their next offering sees them returning to form. Thanks, Tom
