This set is makin me crazy

Freakin cool song from a freakin cool band!!!
 

Great stuff! Thanks, Bill! In my several years of listening to RP this is the first time I have seen no disagreement about the quality of the music and the integrity of the band. That's saying something! If you are a Los Lobos fan and haven't seen them live lately - or ever - check out "Live at the Fillmore"  (July 20-30, 2004) on CD.

I can't keep still

Baddiest, baddest, coolest mofo's on the planet!!!  They are icons... in my book.  If you've never seen them live, do yourself the favor.

I just recently saw them for the first time, but I've known about them since the early 80s. Let's put it this way, I was bummed when they played La Bamba, so many other great songs they could have done instead of playing an easy crowd pleaser. One of the singers had a bad cold and was doing tequila shots all night and still did a great job. They should be national icons.

I keep trying, but I cannot put these guys in a box. They are clearly so much more than La Bamba.

They gotta Motown thang happenin' here, is all.
How do you spell Curtis Mayfield?

Please play more from Los Lobos! One of the top 10 American bands, IMO.

It gotta be this time!! Great band!

a great song for dancing with a little one on your toes. ^_^

1995, flew home from that armpit called Houston to my home in wonderful western Colorado. I grab a hotel room for the night before driving the last hundred miles into the boonies...and who's playing on the patio? Los Lobos. What a great way to come home.

Please go see these guys live. They just opened for John Mellancamp, and I was lucky enough to score front row tickets when my friend's wife declined to go. I was unlucky enough to have to stay for most of the Mellancamp show that followed a too-brief, 45 minute opening set.

Nice horns.

Greatest band in America?

That's always my reaction when I hear this.

Yeah, again, thanks to RP for more Los Lobos exposure. It started and stopped previously with La Bamba for the biopic of Ritchie Valens that came out in 1987, also called La Bamba after Valens big song in the 50s.

This is Los Lobos? Sweet

YEah..great song

Just saw these guys two nights ago...one of the best live bands ever. If you ever get the chance go see them, they are not what you would expect!

smooooooove...

Agreed - excellent CD!!

These guys are great! I went to see them at a small outdoor shoow - maybe 500 people, and knew nothing about them. hooked for life.

Mmm. I'm dancing sweet and slow in my computer chair.
