Amazon.com essential recording
Los Lobos's ability to wade through disparate musical styles isn't the stuff of Elvis and the Beatles, but Los Lobos did it on their debut album. And, unlike much of the material Los Lobos cut their teeth on as a Los Angeles Top 40 cover band, there is nothing lowest-common-denominator about the band's original music. "Don't Worry Baby" is a blues rocker gritty enough for John Lee Hooker; rockabilly meets country, courtesy of David Hidalgo's lap steel, on "Our Last Night"; Cesar Rosas pays homage to the band's Mexican roots on the mariachi-style "Corrido #1"; and "Will the Wolf Survive?" is an infectious jangle rocker that became an early MTV hit. Seamless. File under American Music. --Bill Crandall

Customer Reviews

A must-have for Los Lobos fans
I discovered Los Lobos when I borrowed this album from the library years ago. "will the Wolf Survive" is unforgettable.

All-Time Classic!
I guess one of the main reasons you're reading the reviews is to try and gauge whether or not to buy the album so I'll try make this as brief as possible. THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS EVER MADE. Los Lobos cover many different styles with total excellence. The opener Don't Worry Baby is still probably my favourite Los Lobos track but the rest of the songs are magnificent and brilliantly played. Take the opening to Evangeline and the sax solo on the fantastic I Got Loaded - just great music. Buy this you will never regret it.

All Time Classic
I bought this on vinyl in 1985 and it was an instant classic , one of the best albums i'd ever heard.That slab of plastic soon wore out and i've bought it again three times on CD ( friends who loved it got two of them as gifts ).The reason i'm writing this however is to appeal to whoever owns the rights to get this superb album re -released. It's a disgrace that such a brilliant classic has not been Remastered and put out with new sleevenotes , extra tracks etc and given the respect that so many inferior releases by other artists seem to get. Someone sort it out and let this wondrous release have a new lease of life , please !
