TheState.com Review of T&C
CD review | The Town and the City
Among the most durable of bands, Los Lobos continues to explore the
human condition through music, be it R&B, blues, straight-ahead rock,
or norteno and other styles from Mexico, elsewhere in Latin America
and the Caribbean.
The bands latest memorializes what it means to lose one home in
search of another, as Los Lobos chronicles the often-dangerous
passage of Mexicans to El Norte and what awaits them.
The Town and the City represents Los Lobos at some of its
philosophical best, dispensing well-crafted electrified music from a
weathered, wiser band. It displays the almost resigned mood and quiet
strength that has colored more of Los Lobos work since Kiko in 1992.
The Town and the City is a fine addition to the Los Lobos catalog.
